What is the formula for calculating cc?
The formula to find the volume of a object or container in cc (cubic centimeters) depends on its shape. Different formulae are used for spherical, triangular, rectangular, cylindrical, etc. shapes. There is no formula for finding the volume of irregular shapes.
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
What is the equation used for calculating density?
density = mass/volume
What formula do you uset determine the volume of a rectangular solid?
The formula used to calculate the volume of a rectangular solid is: L*W*H=V
How is the area of the base of a rectangular prism used in finding it's volume?
The base area * height = Volume

Why is the unit centimeters cubed used when calculating the volume of a rectangular object?
The volume of an object is measured in units3 because it measures the 3 dimensions of the length, height, and width of an object. However, the units themselves are subject to change. For example it could be centimeters3, inches3, feet3, or any other units of measurement cubed.

One method used to measure the volume of an irregular solid involves immersing the object in water?
The method used to measure an irregular solid by placing it in water is called dispersion. If you note the level of the water before placing the object in and the level after, you can find the volume of the object by calculating the difference.
What is the equation used for calculating density?
density = mass/volume
What formula do you uset determine the volume of a rectangular solid?
The formula used to calculate the volume of a rectangular solid is: L*W*H=V
What is the formula used to find the volume of a circular object?
There are different formulae for objects of different shapes. The simplest case is the rectangular box: volume = length x width x height. For other simple shapes formulae are known; for an irregular object, integration must be used.
Why is mass used instead of volume when calculating density?
Actually, BOTH are used. You can define density as mass divided by volume (or mass per unit volume).
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.
When is displacement used?
It is used to find the volume of an irregularly shaped object. An object dropped into a volume of water will displace an equal volume of water.
How is the area of the base of a rectangular prism used in finding it's volume?
The base area * height = Volume
What is the formula length x width x height used for?
the volume of a rectangular prism
