How to calculate cubic capacity?

Hello friends. We always read about cubic capacity of engines. How to calculate cubic capacity using bore and stroke measurements?

help!!

((Bore (cm) X Bore (cm) X stroke (cm) X No. of cylinders)) divided by 4

e.g. Bore = 10 cm, stroke = 12 cm, 4 cylinders

Cubic capacity = (10 X 10 X 12 X 4) divided by 4 = 1,200 cc (cubic centimeters)

Assuming the bore and stroke measurements of an engine cylinder as in volume calculations of a normal cylindric shape, the capacity can be calculated by

(pi*r^2)*h

pi = 3.14

r = 1/2 the bore dimension in centimeters

h = stroke of the crank in centimeters

Benu9714, i think the formula given by you is not correct.
