Mathematical Formulas Used

Our calculator implements precise mathematical formulas for each shape:

• Cube: V = a³ (side length cubed)
• Sphere: V = (4/3)πr³ (four-thirds pi times radius cubed)
• Cylinder: V = πr²h (pi times radius squared times height)
• Cone: V = (1/3)πr²h (one-third pi times radius squared times height)
• Pyramids: V = (1/3)Bh (one-third base area times height)
• Prisms: V = Bh (base area times height)

And many more specialized formulas for complex geometric shapes.
