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.
The volume of a solid is the amount of space it occupies in three-dimensional space. It is typically measured in cubic units such as cubic centimeters or cubic meters. The formula for calculating volume varies depending on the shape of the solid.
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 formula for calculating the volume of a gas is V = nRT/P, where V is the volume, n is the number of moles of the gas, R is the gas constant, T is the temperature in Kelvin, and P is the pressure of the gas.
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.
A solid has a definite shape but the same volume in any container.
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.
Yes and it is for any circle: circumference/diameter = pi
capacity = volume = (any unit of length)3
Gases do not have a definite shape or volume. They take the shape and volume of the container in which they are confined. Gases are highly compressible and can expand to fill any space available to them.
Because they can flow into any shape,.
