<p>The volume of a toroid is the total space it occupies. A toroid is a 3D shape resembling a doughnut, with a circular cross-section that revolves around an axis. To find the volume of a toroid, we use the formula involving the radii of the cross-section and the distance from the center of the tube to the center of the toroid. In this topic, let’s learn about the volume of the toroid.</p>
