In [[mathematics]], '''solid geometry''' is the traditional name for the geometry of three-dimensional Euclidean space.

[[Stereometry]] deals with the measurements of volumes of various solid figures or Polyhedrons (three-dimensional figures) including pyramids, cylinders, cones, truncated cones, [[Sphere|spheres]], and prisms.

The Pythagoreans dealt with the regular solids, but the pyramid, prism, cone and cylinder were not studied until the Platonists.

[[Eudoxus]] established their measurement, proving the pyramid and cone to have one-third the volume of a prism and cylinder on the same base and of the same height, and was probably the discoverer of a proof that the volume of a sphere is proportional to the cube of its radius.
