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.

What is the voulme of a solid?

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.


Length times width times height is the formula for volume yes or no?

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.


What is the formula for calculating volume of gas?

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.


How do you find the volume of a prism?

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.

Do gases have a difinite shape and volume?

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.


Why do a liquid have a definite volume but not definite shape?
