Frequently asked questions

Any unit you like — the calculator works with whatever unit your input is in. If you enter dimensions in cm, the volume is in cm³ (cubic centimetres). Unit conversion is done manually outside the calculator.

A cone with the same base and height as a cylinder fills exactly one-third of the cylinder. This is true for any pyramid or cone shape relative to a corresponding prism or cylinder.
