When you compared the volume of the rectangular prism by using a ruler did you get the exact measurement of volume when using displacement?

It depends on how accurately you do the measurements in each case.

How can you find the volume of a solid that is not rectangular?
Water displacement
What are two units of measure for volume?
direct measurement and displacement
Why is displacement of water an example of an indirect measurement?
Water displacement is a method to measure volume
What is displacement method?
The Liquid Displacement Method involves putting an object into a container filled with water. A measurement is then taken of how much volume of water has been displaced. This measurement can then be used to calculate the volume of the object displacing the water.

How do you calculate the volume of a rectangular slab?
It is length*width*height - in suitable measurement units.
What form of measurement is measuring length width and height?
The measurement of length, width, and height finds the volume of a cube or rectangular prism.
How does the word displacement apply to indirect measurement of volume?
Volume is difficult to calculate mathematically in a complex shape. Immersing an object in a liquid pushes out a volume of that liquid equal to the volume of the object. The result is called displacement because the solid displaces the liquid.
Volume of a cube compared to that of a rectangular prism?
A cube is a rectangular prism with all sides of the same length. So, volume of a rectangular prism is Length*Breadth*Height = L*B*H But for a cube, L = B = H so volume = L*L*L = L3
What method of measurement is used to find the volume of an irregular solid?
The water displacement method is typically used to find the volume of an irregular solid. The object is submerged in a known amount of water, and the increase in water volume is measured. This increase in volume is equal to the volume of the irregular solid.
What is the differences between the measurement of the surface area and the measurement of the volume of a right rectangular prism?
haha we are both looking for the same question because its on one of my quizzes hehe
Could the water displacement method be used to determine the volume of a rectangular object as well as an irregularly shaped object?
Yes. It doesnt have to be a irregular even though sometimes it is easier just to do the math... for a rectangular object. l x w x h= volume
