Identify the solid’s shape (cube, rectangular prism, cylinder, cone, sphere, pyramid, etc.)
Use the correct volume formula:
Cube: (V = s^3)
Rectangular prism: (V = l times w times h)
Cylinder: (V = pi r^2 h)
Cone: (V = frac{1}{3}pi r^2 h)
Sphere: (V = frac{4}{3}pi r^3)
Pyramid: (V = frac{1}{3}Bh) (where (B) is base area)
Triangular prism: (V = left(frac{1}{2}bhright)L)
Irregular solids (displacement method): (V = V_{text{final}} – V_{text{initial}}) (water displacement)
Plug in the given measurements using consistent units
Compute the value
Report the final answer in cubic units (e.g., (text{cm}^3), (text{m}^3))
