Measuring Volume

Volume

Volume is defined as the amount of space an object takes up. Because matter takes so many different forms, volume can be measured many different ways.

Multiple Choice

The amount of space an object takes up is called

• mass

• weight

• volume

Cube or Rectangle

To measure the volume of a cubed or rectangular shaped solid all you need is a ruler. Measure the length, width, and height of the object and then multiple the three numbers together.

Volume = length x width x height

Example

Take a look at the orange cube on the right. Notice that the length is 6 cm, the width is 4 cm and the height is 7 cm. So if you multiple those three numbers together you get 168 cm³.
