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.
