MEASUREMENT Volume & Capacity. Converting cubic units. Converting between cubic units means the base conversion factor must be cubed. Example. 1 cm 3 = 1000 mm 3. (10mm ⨯ 10mm ⨯ 10mm). (1cm ⨯ 1cm ⨯ 1cm). Volume of Prisms. Volume = Area of cross section × Length.

MEASUREMENT • Volume & Capacity
Converting cubic units Converting between cubic units means the base conversion factor must be cubed. Example 1 cm3 = 1000 mm3 (10mm ⨯ 10mm ⨯ 10mm) (1cm ⨯ 1cm ⨯ 1cm)
Volume of Prisms Volume = Area of cross section × Length The volume of a 3-d object is the amount of 3-d space it occupies. Measured in cubic units i.e. cm3 or m3. Area L
Volumes of Composite Solids As with area, to find the volume of a composite solid, divide it into familiar solids, then find the volume of each, and add/subtract as necessary. Example 320cm3
Volumes of Composite Solids Examples 31616cm3 235.6cm3
An excavator is digging a drainage trench. The shape is twice as wide as it is deep. This particular trench has a width across the top of 3.2 m and a length 245 m. What is the best model to calculate the volume of material removed? What volume of material must be moved to make this trench? Investigate 2 possible models that could be used to approximate the shape shown. If the digger removes a bucketful of clay at the rate of 2 scoops per 90s, and each scoop holds 2.5m3, how long will it take for each model. Which model would be better and why?? 3.2 m 1.6 m 1.2 m * diagram not to scale
In class experiment: investigating volume and capacity Liquid Item = Volume = 1m ⨯ 1m ⨯ 1m = 1 m3 Capacity #mls≈ 355 1000 = 1 L 1000 #mls ≈ #L’s = = 1t 1000 #kgs= #gms≈ 1000 = 1 kg #gms≈ Mass 355
Liquid Volume (Capacity) There are 2 ways in which we measure volume: • Solid shapes have volume measured in cubic units (cm3, m3 …) • Liquids have volume measured in litres or millilitres (mL) Metric system – Weight/volume conversions for water
Example 600 ml = $ 0.83/0.6 L 2 = $ 1.383 / L 3 1 L = $ 1.39/ L 2 L = $ 2.76/ 2 L 1 = $ 1.38 / L
Example a.) Calculate the area of glass required for the fish tank = 7122 cm2 S.A. = 2(55 × 42) + 2(18 × 42) + (55 x 18) b.) Calculate the volume of water in the tank. Give your answer to the nearest litre Vtank= 55 × 42 × 18 = 41580 cm3 42 cm Vwater = 4/5 (41580) = 33264 cm3 = 33 L 55 cm
