Yes, these formulas are correct. The formulas are easily derived through the equation m = pV

"m" is the mass of the object.
V is what you have to calculate as the volume.
p is the density.

The website is simplifying this formula into situation specific equations which can be derived from common variables you might know.
 
It is common in many industries to come up with handy convenience calculations, such as these.
