Volume is a measurement of the three-dimensional space that an object occupies. It is measured in cubic centimeters (cm3 or cc) by multiplying the length, width, and height of an object. The document provides examples of using the volume formula, V = L x W x H, to calculate the volume in cubic centimeters of various objects with straight edges.

1. Finding Volume Solid Objects With Straight Lines

2. What is Volume? Also known as capacity The amount of space something takes up. Volume is 3 dimensional.

3. How is it Measured? Solids are measured in cubic centimeters. Abbreviated as cc or cm ³ Example - If an object is 3 cubic centimeters, you would write it either 3 cc or 3 cm³

4. Why cc and cm ³? Volume measures 3D. Measured in cubes. 1 CM 1 CM 1 CM 1 CM ³

5. Volume Formula V = L x W x H V is volume L is length W is width H is height

6. Let’s Try One V = L x W x H V = 3cm x 12cm x 4cm V = 144 cm ³ or 144 cc 12 CM 4 CM 3 CM

7. Let’s Try One V = L x W x H V = 7cm x 10cm x 5cm V = 350 cm ³ or 350 cc 10 CM 5 CM 7 CM

8. Let’s Try One V = L x W x H V = 4cm x 8cm x 15cm V = 480 cm ³ or 480 cc 8 CM 15 CM 4 CM

9. Review Volume is the amount of space something takes up. V = L x W x H This formula is for solid objects with straight edges only.
