When a person is trying to understand how much liquid a shape can hold it is important to understand the volume of the shape. The formula for calculating the volume of any 3-D shape is length x width x height.
It is the correct formula for volume only for the specific case of a box-shape. For any other shape, the calculation would be different.
The volume of any prism can be found by calculating the area of the base and multiplying it by the height of the prism. Recall that a prism is a solid shape composed of a base that is a polygon. By translating that base "up" and adding the "sides" to create the solid shape, you have constructed the prism. And now you can calculate its volume.Note that the base could be triangular, or could be a square, a pentagon, hexagon, or any other polygon. Standard rules apply for calculating the areas of these polygons.
any solid has both shape and volume
A given mass of gas can assume any shape and volume; a given mass of liquid can assume any shape but has a constant volume; and a given mass of a single solid has a fixed shape and volume.
A liquid has a constant volume but no fixed shape.
A sphere is a 3-D shape, roughly describable as a circle, but more accurately as a globe.Can any of you remember the formula for the volume of a sphere?The shape of this ball is a sphere.
In Chemistry, 1 mole of ANY gas at room temperature and pressure is 24dm^3 (or 24000 cm^3).
Yes and it is for any circle: circumference/diameter = pi
Water does not have a definate shape or volume because it takes the shape of any container it is put into.
capacity = volume = (any unit of length)3
It would depend entirely on the shape of the pool. There are round pools, rectangular pools, heart-shaped pools, and almost any imaginable shape of pool. It would also depend on how the bottom of the pool is constructed. Some pools have equal depths. Some have a shallow end and a deep end. In some the pool becomes gradually deeper, in some it drops sharply.
A liquid has a fixed volume but not a fixed shape. If you put it into a graduated cylinder, it will take the shape of the cylinder. If you put it into a bowl, it will take the shape of the bowl.
