Volume

​Volume

Volume is a measure of occupied three-dimensional space.

Every three-dimensional object occupies some space. This space is measured in terms of its volume. Volume is defined as the space occupied within the boundaries of an object in three-dimensional space. ​

• l X w

​Finding the volume of an object can help us to determine the amount required to fill that object, like the amount of water needed to fill a bottle, a a water tank.

Volume Measurement

Volume is calculated for three-dimensional objects and hence is represented in cubic units or another format of writing cubic unit; as this is commonly used (unit)³ such as cubic centimeters, cubic inch, cubic foot, cubic meter, etc If the length or radius is measured in centimeters, then the volume is measured in cubic centimeters (cm³). If the measurements are in meters, the volume is measured in cubic meters (m³).​

Why do we need to find a volume of an object?

​Is a volume of rectangular prism the same as a volume of cuboid?

​

​

Yes, a volume of rectangular prism is the same as a volume of cuboid. Cuboid has sides of unequal lengths. Its volume is calculated using the formula l x b x h, where l, b, and hare the different measurements of the shape.

Find a volume.

​What is the easiest way to understand volume?

​Volume is the space occupied by any object. This space occupied depends on the shape of the object. The best way to understand is by examining different objects and finding the volume occupied by them.

​What should be kept in mind when calculating the volumes of different shapes?

​An important check before calculating the volume of any shape should be that all measurements are in the same unit. If one measurement is provided in cm and the other in m, convert both into cm or m before calculating the volume.
