Define Volume

-->
Define Volume: Volume can be defined as” the magnitude or intensity of a certain sound”.
Volume is how much three-dimensional space a substance (solid, liquid, gas, or plasma) or shape occupies or contains,often quantified numerically using the SI derived unit, the cubic metre.Volumes of some simple shapes, such as regular, straight-edged, and circular shapes can be easily calculated using arithmetic formulas. The density of an object is defined as mass per unit volume.
Formula for volume of a cylinder
V = πr2h
Let us now solve one problem to understand the above concept.
Example 1) Find the volume of a cylinder with radius 5 cm and height 10cm.
V = πr2h
V = 3.14*25*10
V = 785cms
