A volume has to be a three dimensional thing, otherwise the volume is zero.

How can you find volume besides a graduated cylinder?
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.
How do you describe a way to find how many cubes will fit in a rectangular box without building the box and filling it with cubes?
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.
Why is a rectangular prism shape the way it is?
Because it is a rectangular prism and it has volume and area also mass and perimeter
How do you find the width and length of a rectangular box given the volume and height?
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
How do you find the density of a rectangular solid if the only instrument you have with you is a ruler?
You're pretty much up a creek. You can find the volume using only a ruler, but without a way to find the mass, you will not be able to determine the density.
How to find height of a rectangular prism?
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.
What is the formula used to calculate the volume of a rectangular solid?
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.
How do you measure the volume of an object that was NOT a rectangular prism?
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.
How do you find volume when mass and density are not givin?
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 one way a lobby is good for the law making process?
What is the volume of a right rectangular prism 8ft tall 3 ft wide and 5 ft long
What are 2 ways to find the volume of a plastic cube?
multplying the hieght, depth and width is one way. another way is to find out what the buoyancy is
Why is the radius squared when finding the volume of the cylinder?
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
