Volume is the quantity of three-dimensional space enclosed by a closed surface, for example, the space that a substance (solid, liquid, gas, or plasma) or shape occupies or contains. Volume is often quantified numerically using the SI derived unit, the cubic metre.
The volume of a solid body is the amount of space it occupies. Volume has units of length cubed (i.e., , , , etc.) For example, the volume of a box (cuboid) of length , width , and height is given by. The volume can also be computed for irregularly-shaped and curved solids such as the cylinder and cone.
