If there are two sides that are more or less opposite each other and are flat, you can approximate the volume by using the formula V = H/3 * (A1 + A2 + (A1*A2)^1/2) where: V= volume H= distance between the two planes A1 = the area of plane 1 A2 = the area of plane 2 This equations was first discovered by the ancient Egyptians. The interesting thing is that it is thought that this equation could not be obtained without a knowledge of calculus, which was invented centuries after the Egyptians were using it without the benefit of knowing calculus.
