Rectangular tank
Input
- l: 4 m
- w: 2 m
- h: 1.5 m
Calculation
V = 4 x 2 x 1.5
Result
Volume = 12 m^3.
Find three-dimensional capacity of common solids.
Volume measures how much space a three-dimensional object occupies. It is critical for tank sizing, shipping, concrete estimates, and scientific capacity calculations.
Each solid has a geometry-specific formula. Prisms and cylinders scale with base area times height, while spheres depend on radius cubed. Small radius errors can significantly affect volume.
This calculator helps compare multiple shape options quickly and keeps units consistent. It is useful for design, construction, and educational geometry practice.
Select cube, rectangular prism, cylinder, cone, sphere, or other supported solid.
Provide required lengths in one unit system.
Tool applies shape-specific volume formula.
Read results in units like m^3, cm^3, or ft^3.
Convert to liters, gallons, or material quantities if needed.
Rectangular prism: V=lwh; Cylinder: V=pi r^2 h; Sphere: V=(4/3)pi r^3
Volume formulas combine base geometry and depth. Curved solids use pi and higher powers because dimensions scale across all three spatial directions.
V = 4 x 2 x 1.5
Volume = 12 m^3.
V = pi x 3^2 x 10 = 90pi
Volume about 282.74 cm^3.
V = (4/3)pi x 5^3
Volume about 523.60 ft^3.
