Variables |
---|---|---|
Volume of a cube: |
s = length of a side |
|
Volume of a rectangular prism: |
l = length, w = width, h = height |
|
Volume of a cylinder (circular prism): |
r = radius of circular face, h = distance between faces |
|
Any prism that has a constant cross sectional area along the height volume: |
A = area of the base, h = height |
|
Volume of a sphere: |
r = radius of sphere which is the first integral of the formula for Surface Area of a sphere |
|
An ellipsoid volume : |
a, b, c = semi-axes of ellipsoid |
|
Volume of a pyramid: |
A = area of base, h = height from base to apex |
|
Volume of a cone (circular-based pyramid): |
r = radius of circle at base, h = distance from base to tip |
|
Any figure volume (calculus required) |
h = any dimension of the figure, A(h) = area of the cross-sections perpendicular to h described as a function of the position along h this will work for any figure (no matter if the prism is slanted or the cross-sections change shape). |
