Volume is the measurement of how much space is present inside of a 3-dimensional figure. It can be used to figure out how much of a substance will fit inside a container.
Much like area, each 3D figure has its own specific method or formula for find the volume of that figure. However, the basic formula for most figures is:
Volume = Area of the Base x the Height of the figure or V = B x h

Using the Volume Formula to find other Variables
If you are given two of the following variables:
-Volume
- Area of the Base
- Height of the figure
you can find the third variable using the correct volume formula. For instance:
-Volume
- Area of the Base
- Height of the figure
you can find the third variable using the correct volume formula. For instance:
