How the cylindrical wedge volume Calculator Works
The calculator applies the exact formula V = ⅔·r²·h. Worked example: r = 3 cm, h = 4 cm → V = 24 cm³. Keep every input in one unit system and the result follows in cubic units (m³, ft³, liters); full precision is kept until the final rounding. Radius fields expect radii — halve any diameter before entering it.

Tips
- 1
Volume scales with the cube of linear dimensions
- 2
Convert results: 1 m³ = 1000 L, 1 ft³ = 7.48 US gal
- 3
π ≈ 3.14159 — precision kept to the last step
Common Mistakes
Mixing units (cm radius with m height)
Entering a diameter where the formula wants a radius
Forgetting the solid must be closed — check h > 0
