For simple shapes like sphere and box, you can do the maths using the dimentions used.
For other 
shapes, the formuas are more complex, look in your geometry and trigs school books. If
you used CSGs 
operations, isosurfaces, meshes or hightfields, I doubt you can even get a decent
evaluation in most 
cases.
