finding volume

In this blog we are going to discuss about finding volume formulas.Also see the given link to know about volume cube.
[Rectangular Solid]
The volume of an rectangular solid found by multiplying the Length by Width & then by the Height. you can also reckon of volume as taking the area of the rectangle:

Volume refers to the total space contained within a three-dimensional figure.Volume can be expressed in cubic denominations, such as cubic feet or cubic inches.

(L x W) & multiplying by the H. So the formula is:

V = [Rectangular Solid's Width] x [Rectangular Solid's Length] x [Rectangular Solid's Height]

V = L x W x H

[Cube]
A cube is an rectangular solid whose edges are all equal. & since all the edges are equal (L=W=H) the formula can be simplified as follows:

V = [Cube's Width] x [Cube's Length] x [Cube's Height]

V = L x L x L (or L in the third power)

[Cylinder]
A Cylinder is an object that has a circle for its base, but it also has height. To find the volume of a cylinder, use the formula below which is the area of the circle multiplied by the height of the cylinder:

V = [Area of circle] x [Height of cylinder]
