Volume

The volume of a 3D shape is the amount of space it occupies. Volume is measured using cubic units such as:
Cubic

    * cm3, the cubic centimeter, said "cm cubed"
    * m3, the cubic metre, said "m cubed"
    * mm2, the cubic millimeter, said "mm cubed"

A cubic metre is the volume of a cube with edges 1m.

Cuboids

Cuboids The volume of a cuboid is given by:
V = b x h x d

A cube is a special kind of cuboid with b = h = d We often use the symbol x for the length of a cube. The volume of a cube is x3 (often we say x cubed)

Capacity

    * Liquids have volume measured in litres or millilitres (mL)
    * 1cm3 is equal to 1mL
    * 1000cm3 is equal to 1 litre.

For water, 1mL weighs exactly 1 gram, and 1Litre weighs exactly 1 kg. Therefore if we know the volume of water, we can work out its weight.

Prisms

A prism is a 3D shape with two opposite faces that are the same shape, the same size, and are parallel. Both of these shapes are prisms.

The shaded faces also show the cross-section.
The cross section of a prism is any cut through the shape which is parallel to one of the end faces.
The formula for the volume of a prism is:
Volume = Area of cross section X distance between the end faces

Pyramids

    * A pyramid sits on a base
    * The top point is called the apex.
    * The volume of the pyramid is given by the formula:
      A = Area of the base
      h is the height
