2. Solid Geometry
Solid geometry is concerned with three-dimensional shapes. Some examples of three-dimensional shapes are cubes, rectangular solids, prisms, cylinders, spheres, cones and pyramids.
The three flat shapes of the triangle, rectangle, and circle may become solids by adding the third dimension  of  depth. The  triangle  becomes  a  cone;  the  rectangle,  a  rectangular  solid;  and  the circle, a cylinder.

3. Cubes
A cube is a three-dimensional figure with all edges of the same length. s
If s is the length of sides of the cube ,
Volume of the cube = s3
Cuboids l w h
If l is the length, w is the width and h is the height of the cuboids ,
Volume of the cuboids = lwh

4. Cylinders
A cylinder is a solid with two congruent circles joined by a curved surface.
In the given figure, the radius of the circular base is r and the height is h. The volume of the cylinder is the area of the base × height.
The volume of the cylinder =Πr2h. r h
Spheres
A sphere is a solid with all its points the same distance from the center. r
If r is the length of radius of the sphere ,
Volume of the sphere = 4Πr3 3

5. If r is the radius and h is the height,
Cones
A circular cone has a circular base, which is connected by a curved surface to its vertex. A cone is called a right circular cone, if the line from the vertex of the cone to the center of its base is perpendicular to the base. . r h
If r is the radius and h is the height,
Volume of the cone = 1Πr2h 3

6. Regular square pyramidb h s
Volume of the Regular square pyramid = 1b2h 3
