The method of finding volume depends entirely on the shape of the 3-dimensional space occupied by the substance or object. The volume of a hexahedron such as a cube or a rectangular shaped box is found by simply multiplying the length, width, and height together, and the product will be the volume in cubic units. For example, a box measuring 12 inches long, 9 inches wide, and 16 inches high has a volume of 12 in x 9 in x 16 in = 1,728 in3 (which is the same as 1 cubic foot). With the metric system, a box 10 cm x 5 cm x 20 cm has a volume of 1,000 cm3 (cubic centimeters), which is the same as 1,000 ml (milliliters) or 1 liter.
The volume of any other regular 3-dimensional geometric figure has its specific formula. The volume of a sphere, for instance, is 1/6 x pi x diameter3, and for a pyramid is 1/3 x base x height.
The volume of an irregularly-shaped object is often impossible to calculate mathematically. An alternate method of finding its volume is to immerse it in water and measure the volume of water displaced.

How do you find cubic centimeter?
You find cubic centimeters by measuring the volume of something.
What the volume of something?
To find volume you need to multiple length,width and height. Why don't you turn it up!
How do you calculate volume flow?
If you are trying to find the volume of something, remember there is a formula which is volume = length times width times high.
How do you find the dimensions of a rectangular prism with just the volume?
You cannot. It could be a long narrow prism or a short squat one and the volume alone does not tell you which one of these shapes - or something in between - the prism has.
How do you find out the volume of a stone?
this website is boring if u ask what u want it either gives u something or otherwise unwanted..
How can you find the volume of something?
you messure
How do you find out the density of something?
mass/volume
Why do you multiply when doing volume?
you multiply when you are finding the volume of something is because that is how you find how much space something takes

How do you find the density of something?
To find the density of an object, you need to measure its mass and volume. Then, divide the mass by the volume to calculate the density. The formula for density is density = mass/volume.
What was it that Archimedes discovered?
He discovered that you have to find the volume, mass, and density of something
How do you get the volume of something that floats?
To find the volume of something that floats, you can measure the amount of water it displaces when submerged. The volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of the object. This can be calculated by measuring the change in water level before and after submerging the object.
What 2 things do you have to measure to find the density of objects?
To find the density of an object, you need to measure its mass (using a scale) and its volume (using a ruler, displacement method, or geometric calculations). Density is calculated by dividing the mass of an object by its volume.
How do you find area and volume?
Area: length multiplied by the width of an object Volume: Has something to do with heigh and base.. Forgot the formula, sorry.
