Hi guys... and girl tongue out

I have a mate that is needing the formula to calculate volume? So length x width x high = cm3 or somthing like that? Anyone able to help? I think he is trying to work out his tanks capacity in his rally car?

Cheers.

yes

Volume of a cuboid kinda shape is length*width*height.

Cylinder is pi*([radius of end]^2)*length

cc (cubic centimeters) = millilitres = height x width x length (all distances measured in centimetres)

hehe Its the same formula, he just put some units on it! Applies with any units though, ie length*width*depth in metres will give volume in cubic metres.

Aye, well, hmm, the original question was to get a formula for cm3? That's what I answered. Could have added and divide by 1000 to get litres but I'm not that flashy. smile
