Volume

How much space an object takes up Volume How much space an object takes up

Volume Takes up a lot of space, has a large volume Takes up a little bit of space, has a small volume

Another way to look at it? Volume Another way to look at it? How many cubes (all sides are the same length) can fit into a given space….. V = 6 cubic centimeters (each side is 1 cm in length)

all multiplied together. Volume Measured using 3 numbers all multiplied together. L x W x H

Volume L = Length (how long an object is) Length

Volume W = Width (How wide an object is) Width

Volume H = Height (how tall an object is) Height

Volume Because volume is measured using 3 numbers, its unit is in cubic – to the power of 3 So multiply L x W x H and keep the unit of measure, but be sure to use the power of 3 at the end.

Volume 5 m 4 m 12 m V = L x W x H V = 12m x 4m x 5m I have a boat that is 270 m3 in volume. If I purchased the box you see off of the internet to house/store my box in the winter, would my boat fit? How much room is left or how much larger is the boat? 240m3…boat is too big by 30m3

Volume As a creepy, but cool Anniversary gift, I would like to drain my body of blood and put 210 cm3 (TOTAL volume of my blood) into this cubic box and then give the box to my wife. Is there enough room in this box for that amount of blood? How much room is left for blood OR is there too much blood? 6 cm V = L x W x H L = H = W = V =

Volume Now, it’s your turn Directions: *You need to find the volume of three objects in the room: Your desk H = from the floor to the top of the desk Any book H = spine of the book Your choice *FOR EACH ITEM, WRITE THE FORMULA, FILL IN THE NUMBERS, FIND THE VOLUME USING CM3 *FOR EACH VOLUME, ROUND TO THE NEAREST TENTH AND CM IF THERE IS A DECIMAL ANSWER

Volume EXAMPLE: Desk: V = L * W * H V = ___ cm * ___cm * ___cm Work: V = ___cm3 and/ or ___ .#cm3 (ONLY if you have a decimal answer)
