2. Which of the following situations would involve finding the VOLUME? Finding how much water can fit in the fish tank Finding the amount of glass needed to build the tank

3. Woops! 0 Finding the amount of glass needed to build the tank *The glass needed to build the tank is on the OUTSIDE, which would mean taking the SURFACE AREA. *The VOLUME of a fish tank is how much water it can HOLD or FIT. Try another situation! 

12. Woops! 0 How much lining needed to cover the shelves of a cupboard *Covering the shelves would be finding the area (or surface) of each shelve, not the depth. *Volume requires finding DEPTH or how much something can HOLD/FIT. Try another situation! 

13. Correct! 0 How many pots and pans you can fit in a cupboard Key word: fit *Volume requires finding DEPTH or how much something can HOLD/FIT. Awesome job! Try another situation! 

14. Which of the following situations would involve finding the VOLUME? The amount of water that fills a swimming pool The amount of feet around the outside of a pool
