Volume is measured in "cubic" units. You can think of the volume of a figure sort of as the number of cubes required to fill it completely, like blocks in a box -- but that's only sort of, because most three-dimensional shapes, including spheres (round balls) and pyramids, don't have flat surfaces at right angles the way a box does.

Volume of a cube = side times side times side. Since each side of a square is the same, it can simply be the length of one side cubed.

If a cube has one side of 4 inches, the volume would be 4 inches times 4 inches times 4 inches, or 64 cubic inches. (Cubic inches can also be written in3.)

Be sure to use the same units for all measurements. You cannot multiply feet times inches times yards, it doesn't make a perfectly cubed measurement.

The volume of a rectangular prism is the length on the side times the width times the height. If the width is 4 inches, the length is 1 foot and the height is 3 feet, what is the volume?

NOT CORRECT .... 4 times 1 times 3 = 12

CORRECT.... 4 inches is the same as 1/3 feet. Volume is 1/3 feet times 1 foot times 3 feet = 1 cubic foot (or 1 cu. ft., or 1 ft3).

ALSO CORRECT.... 1 ft = 12 in. 3 ft = 3 x 12 = 36 in. So W x L x H = 4 x 12 x 36 = 1728 in3.

What is the difference between stroke volume and swept volume in air compressor?

Stroke volume refers to the volume of air that is displaced or compressed by the piston in a single stroke. Swept volume, on the other hand, refers to the total volume that is displaced by the piston over the entire displacement cycle, including the clearance volume. In summary, stroke volume is the volume displaced in one stroke, while swept volume is the total volume displaced throughout the entire cycle.
