V = A * d

The Volume calculator computes the volume of an object based the surface area (A) and a depth (d).  Volume based on Area (A) and depth(d).

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:

• (A) This is the area 
• (d) This is the depth 

Volume (V): The volume is returned in cubic meters.  However, the units can be automatically converted to other units (e.g. cubic meters to U.S. gallons) via the pull-down menu.

The Math / Science

The formula for volume from area and depth assumes a flat surface (A) and the depth or height measured perpendicular to the surface (h).  The formula for the volume based on area and height is:

         V = A • d

where:

• V = volume
• A = area
• d = height or depth
