You could thing of a simple ring as being a smal hollow cylinder.

Or an anulus right prism.  

Let the outer circle have a radius of R and the inner circle have a radius of r.  And let the ring be h units wide.

A=π(R2r2)units2V=πh(R2r2)units3

Depends on the cross-sectional shape of the ring.  Is it rectangular/circular/elliptical...?
