The Volume from Area and Height calculator computes the volume based on the area (A) and depth or height (h).
INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:
- (A) Area of Flat Surface (top or bottom).
- (h) Height or Depth of Object
Volume (V): The calculator returns the volume in cubic meters (m3). However, this can be automatically converted to other volume units (e.g. cubic inches, gallons, liters) 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 • h
where:
- V = volume
- A = area
- h = height or depth

Volume is a three dimensional measurement of the amount of space taken up by an object. 
Volume units are cubic measurements for solid objects such as cubic inches and cubic meters. Fluids have separate volume units such as liters, fluid ounces, cups, gallons, and barrel.
The volume of an object can measured by the liquid it displaces or be calculated by measuring its dimensions and applying those dimensions to a formula describing its shape. Many such calculations are available in the following list of calculators.
In many cases, the calculators are for a column with a geometric shaped base and vertical sides. One basic formula for volume is area times a Height when the volume has vertical sides.
