In addition to the answer already given, since the parabola is a plane figure and not a solid, it has no volume. You may mean the volume of the solid described by rotating the parabola about its axis, but without a specific equation and limits, this is just as difficult as finding the area. Unlike a circle, a parabola cannot be defined by a single measurement.

a parabola is infinitely large (it goes on forever) unless you have limits set on your formula for the parabola, you can't find any of those things. it is infinite.
a parabola looks like an arch, but the lines extend forever (just in case you, or anyone reading this, doesn't know what one is)
