Volume and Displacement of Objects

Jamie wants to find the volume of his gold ring in cubic inches. He uses a rectangular glass with a base of 3 inches by 2 inches, filled 4 inches high with water. After dropping the ring, the water level rises to 4.25 inches. The volume of the ring is calculated by multiplying the base area by the change in water height, resulting in a volume of 1.5 cubic inches.
