A volume has to be a three dimensional thing, otherwise the volume is zero.
A graduated cylinder is a good way to find volume. Another way to find volume is to use the following equation: Length x Width x Height. This is a way to find the volume of a rectangular or square item.
One way to find out the number of cubes that can fit inside a rectangular box is to use its volume. Knowing the volume of the cubes and that of the box can give an accurate reading of the cubes that can fit.
To find the density of a rectangular solid with just a ruler, you would need to measure the length, width, and height with the ruler. Then, calculate the volume by multiplying the three measurements together. Finally, divide the mass of the rectangular solid by the volume to find the density.
Because it is a rectangular prism and it has volume and area also mass and perimeter
I can get you most of the way there volume÷height=length+width (so you can find 2 numbers which add up to the answer you get and those could be your length and width) hope this helps
The answer will depend on what is known about the rectangular prism. If you have no measurements then the only way to obtain the height is to measure it - either directly or indirectly. If you know three out of its length, breadth, volume and total surface area it is possible to use the formulae connecting them to calculate the height. Instead of the volume, you could have the mass and knowledge of the substance that a solid prism is made out of. In each case, a different formula is required.
The volume of a rectangular solid is calculated by taking the area of the base and multiplying it by the solids height. Another way of saying this is to say length x width x height.
One way to measure the volume of an irregular object is to use a graduated cylinder. Fill the cylinder about half-way with water, and measure the volume. Then, place the object in the cylinder and measure the new volume. Subtract the first from the second to find the change in volume of the water. This change in volume is the voume of the object. Unfortunately, this method will not work for all objects as some are to large to fit in a graduated cylinder and some will dissolve in water, but it is very usefull in most situations.
It depends on the way the question is asked. If you are dealing with a cubic or rectangular object, you measure the length, width, and height, and multiply them. If it is a spherical or irregularly shaped object, you could used water displacement to find its volume. If it's a liquid, you could use a graduated cylinder to measure its volume.
What is the volume of a right rectangular prism 8ft tall 3 ft wide and 5 ft long
multplying the hieght, depth and width is one way. another way is to find out what the buoyancy is
because when you find the volume of a rectangular prism you basically get the area of the base and multiply it by its height and for the cylinder the area of its base = pi(r^2) which you then multiply by its height to give you its volume no way in hell am i explaing to you the calculus and limit stand point of this >_>; sorry
