S3 BLOCK 8 Area and volume 1
Volume I can find the volume of the following 3D shapes. Cube Cuboid Cylinder
The amount of space that a three-dimensional object takes up is called its volume. Volume For example, we can use mm 3, cm 3, m 3 or km 3. The 3 tells us that there are three dimensions, length, width and height. Volume is measured in cubic units.
Capacity Liquid volume or capacity is measured in millilitres, litres, pints or gallons. Note: 1 ml of water has a volume of 1 cm 3
Cuboid
Cylinder
Example 1: (a) Calculate the volume Length is 5 cm Breadth is 7 cm Height is 3 cm
(1b) The cuboid is filled with water. If a glass holds 50mls, how many glasses can be filled? Two glasses That is, 105ml
Example 2: Calculate the volume
