Volume', also called capacity, is a quantification of how much space a certain region occupies. The international unit for volume is the cubic metre (American spelling: cubic meter).

The volume of a solid object is a numerical value given to describe the three-dimensional concept of how much space it occupies. One-dimensional objects (such as lines) and two-dimensional objects (such as squares) are assigned zero volume in the three-dimensional space.

Mathematically, volumes are defined by means of integral calculus, by approximating the given body with a large amount of small cubes or concentric cylindrical shells, and adding the individual volumes of those shapes. The generalization of volume to arbitrarily many dimensions is called content. In differential geometry, volume is expressed by means of the volume form.

Volume and capacity are sometimes distinguished, with capacity being used for how much a container can hold (with contents measured commonly in litres or its derived units), and volume being how much space an object displaces (commonly measured in cubic metres or its derived units).

Volume and capacity are also distinguished in a capacity management setting, where capacity is defined as volume over a specified time period.

Volume is a fundamental parameter in thermodynamics and it is conjugate to pressure.

R stands for the radius, usually used for a measuring the volume of a cylinder, sphere or conal shape.
cylinder = b h = pi r 2 h
cone = (1/3) b h = 1/3 pi r 2 h
sphere = (4/3) pi r 3
Usually the general formula for volume is base times the height of the object.
I have attached a link to further explain Volume of objects. I hope this helps. Take care.

Volume is how much space something takes up. It is a 3 dimensional measurement. Which is why you use a ^3 with the units. (i.e. m^3, cm^3, in^3, ft^3)
