The Circumference to Volume Calculator is a helpful tool for calculating the volume of shapes like spheres, cylinders, and cones, using the circumference as the primary input. This tool simplifies complex formulas, saving time and effort for users. It is widely used in mathematics, engineering, and construction, where accurate volume calculations are required.
This calculator falls under the "Geometry and Measurement Tools" category.
Formulas for Circumference to Volume Calculation
The following formulas are used by the calculator:
Sphere: Radius from circumference: r = c / (2π) Volume from radius: V = (4/3)πr³ Combined formula: V = (4/3)π(c/(2π))³
Cylinder: Radius from circumference: r = c / (2π) Volume from radius and height: V = πr²h Combined formula: V = π(c/(2π))²h
Cone: Radius from circumference: r = c / (2π) Volume from radius and height: V = (1/3)πr²h Combined formula: V = (1/3)π(c/(2π))²h
Note: In these formulas:
- c is the circumference
- r is the radius
- h is the height
- π is the mathematical constant pi (approximately 3.14159)
Conversion Table for Common Circumference Values
Below is a table to help users find approximate volumes for common circumferences without needing to calculate.
Shape | Circumference (c) | Radius (r) | Height (h) | Volume Formula | Volume (V) Approximation |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Sphere | 31.42 | 5 | N/A | V = (4/3)πr³ | 523.6 cm³ |
Cylinder | 31.42 | 5 | 10 | V = πr²h | 785.4 cm³ |
Cone | 31.42 | 5 | 10 | V = (1/3)πr²h | 261.8 cm³ |
Example of Circumference to Volume Calculator
Imagine you have a sphere with a circumference of 31.42 cm. Using the formulas:
- Radius: r = 31.42 / (2 × 3.14159) = 5 cm
- Volume: V = (4/3) × 3.14159 × (5³) = 523.6 cm³
Thus, the sphere's volume is approximately 523.6 cubic centimeters.
