Formula for Volume

VOLUME = Length x Width x Height

V= L x W x H

LENGTH

HEIGHT

WIDTH

Find the volume of the box.

Length = 10 cm

Width = 5 cm

Height = 8 cm

Volume = L x W x H

Length 10 cm

Width x 5 cm

50 cm2

Height x 8 cm

400 cm3

The volume of this box is 400 cm3.

Length = 10 cm

Width = 5 cm

Height = 8 cm

Find the volume of this crate.

HEIGHT = 9 cm

LENGTH = 13 cmWIDTH = 6 cm

Volume = L x W x H

Length 13 cm

Width x 6 cm

78 cm2

Farmer Caleb was riding around on his tractor when he found a crate on the side of the road. The crate he found was 20 cm in length, 10 cm in width and 15 cm in height. It was a different shape than the crates that he works with on the farm. The crates he needs on the farm must have a volume of 3000 cm3. He was wondering if he could use this crate on his farm.
