Sample questions

  1. A rectangular prism is ___ cm long, ___ cm wide and ___ cm high. Calculate its volume.
  2. A cube has edge length ___ cm. Calculate its volume.
  3. How many millilitres are in ___ litres?
  4. How many litres are ___ ml?
  5. How many litres are ___ dm³?

Volume and capacity

Volume measures the space occupied by a solid and uses cubic units. The volume of a rectangular prism is V = abc, while the volume of a cube is V = a³.

Connection with capacity

1 dm³ = 1 l and 1 cm³ = 1 ml, linking volume and capacity units. Do not confuse volume with surface area: volume has three dimensions and cubic units.
