Overview
ABSTRACT
The volume, in physical or mathematical science, is a quantity that measures the extension of an object or a part of space. In this article, we will demonstrate the formulas to obtain the volumes of remarkable geometric elements, such as the right prism, the pyramid, the polyhedron or the torus of revolution.
