Here are the formulas for various geometric shapes.

Cube = side3
Rectangular Prism = side1 * side2 * side3
Sphere = (4/3) * pi * radius3
Ellipsoid = (4/3) * pi * radius1 * radius2 * radius3
Cylinder = pi * radius2 * height
Cone = (1/3) * pi * radius2 * height
Pyramid = (1/3) * (base area) * height
Torus = (1/4) * pi2 * (r1 + r2) * (r1 - r2)2

Here is the definition

The amount of space occupied by a three-dimensional object or region of space, expressed in cubic units.

The volume of matter is a measure of the amount of space that it occupies. If I have a wood cube that is 2 inches on every side, the volume is calculated as 2 X 2 X 2 (or length times width times height,) or eight cubic inches. Different shapes have different formulas to calculate their volumes. The volume of any solid can be determined by measuring the amount of fluid that solid displaces when it is immersed.

Well,the exact definition of voume is the space occupied by an object is known as the volume of the object.
Only three-dimensional objects i.e.objects with length,breadth and thickness of height can have a volume.The volume of an object Depends on its shape and hence it is not possible to give a single formula of volume.but more or less,it may be said that the volume of an object is the base area multiplied by its height.

The volume of a solid object is a numerical value given to describe the three-dimensional concept of how much space it occupies. volumeis often measure by a system called water displacement. it has so many formulas because it measure many things.
