 Volume
What is volume?
Volume is the number of cubic units it takes
to fill a figure.
 Volume
In what kind of units do we measure
volume?

We measure volume in cubic units.

Examples: cubic inches, cubic
centimeters, cubic meters, etc.
 Volume
How can we find the volume of any
solid figure?

The volume of any solid figure is the

area of the base of the figure times
the height of the figure.
 Volume
In a formula, what is the difference between
the lower case b and the captital B. Give an
example in your explanation.
The lower case b refers to the height of the
base of a figure; the capital B means the height
of the figure itself.
Example: Volume of a triangular pyramid: V =
Bh = area of the base of the figure x height of
the figure = base of the triangular base x height
of the triangular base x the height of the figure.
