Best Answer

You cannot measure its length, width and height and multiply these together because all bricks have holes or indentations where the cement goes to anchor one brick to another. This method will give you the volume of the brick and its holes - not the volume of the brick.

The simplest way is to place a large container in a tray. Fill a large container to its rim with water. Gently put a brick in the large container and collect the overflow. Carefully transfer the overfow into a measuring container. The volume of the overflow is the volume of the brick.

You can use displacement of water to determine the volume of any object. This is according to Archimedes Principle. You place the brick (or any object) in a beaker of water, and measure how much water is displaced. This will equal the volume of the brick/object.

You should clarify whether you want to measure its length, surface area, volume,

mass, color, conductivity, density, reflectivity, weight, or whatever.

How do you find the density of a brick?

Density is Weight per Volume so you measure the weight of the brick using a scale and find the volume by multiplying length by width by height and then divide the weight by the volume.


How do you calulate the surface area of the brick and its volume?

To calculate the surface area of a brick, you would find the surface area for each of the 6 sides, then add them together. To find the surface area of one of the faces/sides, you would multiply the length of the face in question by the width of that same face. If this is a regular brick, then the sides should match up, meaning if you do one side, then the opposite side should be the same surface area. To find the volume, you multiply the height of the brick by the length of the brick by the width of the brick.


How can you find the volume of a brick?

measure the height, length, and width of the brick...then multiply all of those answers :)


Can you use cm to measured volume of a brick?

Yes, but of course it will require math. cm is centimeters, a form of measurement and a brick is a rectangular prism. So then, when you measure the dimensions of a brick, you do Volume=(length)x(width)x(height) and that's how you find the volume of a brick using cm.


A 5-inch section of a hollow brick measures 12 inches tall and 8 inches wide on the outside The brick is 1 inch thick Find the volume of the brick not the hollow interior How do you find the volume?

12x8x5=480 6x10x3=180 480-180=380


What is the volume of a standard size brick?

The size of a standard size brick is 3 5/8-inches by 2 1/4-inches, by 8-inches. The formula to find volume is length x width x height, so the volume of a standard sized brick is 67.5.


What 2 ways could you find out a volume of a brick?

Submersion method: fill a container and mark its volume. Place the brick in the water. Measure the new level. Calculate the volume difference from before and after. Dimension-measuring method: measure the length, width and depth of the brick, Multiply them together.


How much does a 10 pound brick weigh underwater?

That depends on the volume of the brick. Whatever its volume is, its weight underwater is(weight of the brick in air) minus (weight of an equal volume of water)

How you calculate the bricks in a cubic meter brick work?

multiplyL xW x H to find the volume of 1 brick. Each measurement should be in cm. 1 cubic meter = (100 cm)3 = 1,000,000 cm3 now divide the volume of 1 brick INTO 1,000,000 that gives the number of bricks.
