Prism Cylinder Volume Calculator

Compute volumes for rectangular prisms and right circular cylinders from dimensions with unit labels.

O M T

Volume of a rectangular prism or cylinder

Volume measures three-dimensional space. A rectangular prism uses V = length × width × height. A right circular cylinder uses V = πr²h. Enter positive dimensions in any consistent unit; the result is in cubic units of that measure (cm³, m³, in³, etc.).

How to use it

  1. Choose prism or cylinder.
  2. Enter the required measurements (all positive numbers).
  3. Read the volume and the substituted formula line.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which cylinder formula is used?

Right circular cylinder: π times radius squared times height, with JavaScript’s Math.PI.

Can I mix units?

You may, but the math assumes all inputs share one length unit; mixing cm and inches without converting will be wrong.

Is π exact?

π is a floating-point approximation suitable for homework and quick estimates, not metrology certification.
