Volume 18-1
You have already learned how to measure the area of plane (2-D) figures. Today you will learn how to measure the amount of space inside solid (3D) figures.
You have already learned how to measure the volume of solid figures. Today you will learn how to measure how much a container holds. • This container holds about a cup. What other containers hold about one cup? • Pint? • Quart? • Gallon?
Capacity • The amount of liquid a container will hold
1 cup (c)= school milk • 1 pint (pt)= small ice cream • 1 quart (qt) = orange juice carton • 1 gallon (gal)= gallon of milk
2 cups = 1 pint • 2 pints = 1 quart • 4 quarts = 1 gallon
