A volume is a measurement of a region in three-dimensional space. [12] The volume of a polyhedron may be ascertained in different ways: either through its base and height (like for pyramids and prisms), by slicing it off into pieces and summing their individual volumes, or by finding the root of a polynomial representing the polyhedron.

A sphere has 2/3 the volume and surface area of its circumscribing cylinder including its bases. In this two-volume treatise addressed to Dositheus, Archimedes obtains the result of which he was most proud, namely the relationship between a sphere and a circumscribed cylinder of the same height and diameter. The volume is 4 / 3 π r 3 ...
