Volume – the number of cubic units that fit inside a space figure

Cube - a solid in which all 6 faces are congruent squares 2 CM

CUBIC UNIT CUBIC CENTIMETER CUBIC METER 1 CM 1 M

SPACE FIGURES - three dimensional objects that have length, width and height

Volume – the number of cubic units that fit inside a space figure

Formula for Volume VOLUME = Length x Width x Height V= L x W x H

LENGTH HEIGHT WIDTH

Find the volume of the box. Length = 10 cm Width = 5 cm Height = 8 cm

Volume = L x W x H Length 10 cm Width x 5 cm 50 cm 2 Height x 8 cm 400 cm 3

The volume of this box is 400 cm 3. Length = 10 cm Width = 5 cm Height = 8 cm

Find the volume of this crate. HEIGHT = 9 cm LENGTH = 13 cm WIDTH = 6 cm

Volume = L x W x H Length 13 cm Width x 6 cm 78 cm 2 Height x 9 cm 702 cm 3

The volume of this crate is 702 cm 3. HEIGHT = 9 cm LENGTH = 13 cm WIDTH = 6 cm

Farmer Caleb was riding around on his tractor when he found a crate on the side of the road. The crate he found was 20 cm in length, 10 cm in width and 15 cm in height. It was a different shape than the crates that he works with on the farm. The crates he needs on the farm must have a volume of 3000 cm 3. He was wondering if he could use this crate on his farm.

Volume = L x W x H Length 20 cm Width x 10 cm 200 cm 2 Height x 15 cm 3000 cm 3

Yes, Farmer Caleb can use the crate!
