Calculate the volume of common 3D shapes with formula visualization
This calculator computes the volume of five common 3D shapes: cube, sphere, cylinder, cone, and rectangular prism. Select a shape, enter the required dimensions, and choose your preferred unit to get the volume in cubic units (cm³, m³, in³, or ft³) with the formula displayed.
1 m³ = 1,000,000 cm³, 1 ft³ = 1,728 in³, 1 m³ ≈ 35.3 ft³. The calculator shows results in all units for easy comparison.
Volume measures the total space an object occupies, while capacity typically refers to the internal volume available to hold a substance (like water in a cylinder). Both use the same cubic units.
