Units of Volume
Volume of any 3-d shape is the space occupied by that shape and is calculated in unit3. The standard unit to measure the side of any 3-d shape is ‘m’ and so the volume of any 3-d shape is calculated in m3. Other units in which voluemof 3-d shapes is calculated is added in the table below:
Unit of Side | Unit of Volume | Metric Equivalent |
---|---|---|
Inch | Cubic Inches (in3) | 1 cu.in = 16.387064 ml |
Foot | Cubic Feet (ft3) | 1 cu.ft = 28.316846592 l |
cm | Cubic centimeter (cm3) | 1 cubic centimeter = 1 ml |
Now some times we came across scenarios in which general unit of volume are used and to convert these general unit of volume to standard unit of volume one must go through the table added below:
Unit | Conversion |
---|---|
1 Pint (pt) | 2 cups |
1 Quart (qt) | 2 pt |
1 Gallon (gal) | 3.78 liters |
1 liter | 1000 cubic centimeter = 1000 ml |
Volume : Definition, Formula, Examples
Volume of the shape means the capacity of the shape. To calculate volumes of different shapes we have different formulas. The basic formula for volume is obtained by multiplying length, breadth and height.
In this article, we will explore how to calculate volumes for different shapes. Also, we will solve some examples related to how to calculate volumes.
