Study Notes

What is Volume?

Volume is the amount of space inside a 3-dimensional solid figure.
These figures have three parts: length, width, and height.
Volume is measured in cubic units.

What is Capacity?

Capacity is how much liquid a 3-dimensional figure can hold.
Capacity can be measured in multiple ways, including:
- Metric system: liters and milliliters
- Customary system (English system): cups, pints, quarts, and gallons
1,000 milliliters = 1 liter (metric system)
Conversions in customary system:
- 2 cups = 1 pint
- 2 pints = 1 quart
- 4 quarts = 1 gallon

Finding Volume

The formula for the volume of a rectangular prism is: Volume = length x width x height
To find the volume, measure the dimensions and multiply them.

Measuring Capacity

To measure capacity, convert between units (e.g., gallons to quarts to pints)
Example: 1 gallon = 4 quarts, and 1 quart = 2 pints, so 1 gallon = 8 pints

Examples and Practice

Example 1: Katie's gift box has a volume of 96 cubic inches (length x width x height).
Example 2: Mark's bucket can hold 2 gallons of water, which is equal to 8 quarts.
