Volume vs capacity
Volume measures the space inside a 3D shape. Capacity is the amount a container can hold, often shown in litres or millilitres.
Common volume formulas
Prisms multiply base area by height. Pyramids and cones use one third of the matching prism or cylinder. Spheres and curved solids use radius-based formulas with pi.
Real-world volume examples
Volume calculations help size tanks, pools, boxes, concrete pours, storage containers, packaging, and any project where space or capacity matters.
