The car can fit inside the container since there is Space
The amount of space occupied by an object is called its volume.
To measure volume we can use the following units:
The amount that a container can hold is called capacity.

The glass in the above image can hold a certain amount of liquid. This is called capacity.
Capacity can be measured using the units:
Relationships involving units of volume and capacity are given below.
Volume
1 000 000 cm³ = 1m³
Capacity
100 ml = 1 dl
10 dl = 1 l
1 000 ml = 1 l
Volume and capacity
1 cm³ = 1 ml
1 000 cm³ = 1
l 100 cm³= 1 dl
1 m³ = 1 000 l
Conversion and basic operations involving units of volume and capacity can be worked out using the relations given above.
To obtain the volume of cubes and cuboids, we can use the number of layers in a stack or apply formulae.
We can also use the relevant formulae to work out the volume of cylinders and solids with uniform cross-sections such as a triangular prism.
A cube has 6 surfaces each of which is a square or all its edges (length, width and height) are
of the same length.
The volume is obtained by multiplying the 3 dimensions:
This is a Cuboid.
It has 6 faces which are not equal.
The opposite faces are equal to each other.
Volume of a cuboid = base area x height
Hence, ` l x w x h`
V = l × w × h
A Cylinder has a Top, Base and a Curved Surface.
Area of the base is the area of a circle = πr^2
Volume= Area of the base x Height

When we have cylinder , cube and cuboid together to form an object we call it a combined shape.
Work out the volume of the below solid (Take π = 22 / 7)
The length, width, and height of the cuboid are 15 m, 7 m, and 8 m, respectively.
Also, the diameter of the half-cylinder is 7 m and its height is 15 m.
So, the required volume = volume of the cuboid + 1/2 volume of the cylinder
Work out the volume of the below solid (Take π = 22 / 7)
This solid is made up of a cuboid with a cylindrical hole.
To get its volume, get the volume of the cuboid (l x w x h) and Get the volume of the cylinder (pie x r x r x h)
Subtract the volume of the cylinder from the volume of the cuboid
Volume of the Cuboid = 16.2cm x 16.6cm x 24cm
= 6298.56cm cubed
Volume of the Cylinder = ` `
= 925cm cubed
Volume of the solid is therefore:
= (6298.56 - 924)cm cubed
= 5374.56 cm cubed.
The bottom of a rectangular trough measures 150 cm by 350 cm.
If the height of the trough is 200 cm find its:
(a) volume in m³
(b) capacity in litres.
Example 2
A cylinder has a height of 200 cm. Its base radius is 50 cm.
Calculate its volume in m³. (Take ? = 3.14).
Example 3
A triangular prism has a volume of 360 cm³.
The prism has a length of 15 cm and the height of its triangular face is 8 cm.
Calculate the base of the triangular face.
Example 1
(a) Volume = length x width x height
= 150 cm x 350 cm x 200 cm
= 10 500 000 cm³
1 000 000 cm³ = 1 m³
Volume in m³
= 10 500 000 / 1 000 000
= 10.5 m³
(b) Capacity: 1 000 cm³ = 1 l
10 500 000 cm³ = l0 500 000/1 000 l
= 10 500 l
Solution
Volume = pie r² h
= (3.14 x 50 x 50 x 200) cm³
= 1 570 000 cm³
1 000 000 cm³ = 1 m³
Volume = 1 570 000 / 1 000 000 (m³)
= 1.57 m³
Solution
Let b represent the base of triangular face.
Volume = Area of cross-section x length
= Area of the triangular face x length
360 =1/2 x b x 8 x 15
b x 8 x 15 = 2 x 360
b = 2 x 360 / 8 x 15
= 6cm
The amount of liquid or gas that a container will hold when full. Or the volume of liquid that can fit inside the container
It measured in milliliters (ml), litre(l), deciliters(dl).
The standard unit used for capacity is litre (l).
