Explains what volume means for 3D shapes and how to calculate volumes of common solids including cuboids, prisms, cylinders, pyramids, cones and spheres. Provides the key formulas, clarifies required dimensions (such as perpendicular height), and includes guidance for exam situations. Includes a worked example using unit conversion and rounding, plus problem-solving strategies for non-standard shapes like prisms, fractions of solids and frustums.",{"@graph":69,"@context":123},[70,84,106],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":20,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/exam/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/aqa-gcse-maths-volume-surface-area-revision-notes/297568/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/aqa-gcse-maths-volume-surface-area-revision-notes/297568.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Connor ","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-11-03","2026-09-18",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":105},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",21,{"@type":107,"mainEntity":108},"FAQPage",[109,115,119],{"name":110,"@type":111,"acceptedAnswer":112},"What does volume mean for 3D shapes?","Question",{"text":113,"@type":114},"Volume measures how much space a 3D shape takes up.
