atoms in solids are arranged in a fixed pattern's it is very difficult to compress them and change their shapes
A prism is a solid geometric object. If you know its shape and dimensions you can calculate its volume.
Shapes have sides. Do you mean, what shape has 6 sides or, what solid has 6 faces?
If you mean volume of a trapezoidal prism then it is: 0.5*(sum of parallel sides)*height*length
It is the amount of three dimensional space occupied by a 3-d shape.
A three dimensional shape is a solid figure or an object which has 3 dimensions which are the length, width and height.
A substance which has no fixed shape, but takes on the shape of its container, and has a fixed volume at a fixed temperature. It is not compressible.
It basicly means; in science, that a stable shape of non-changing elements.
Yes.
Putting it simply. There are 3 states of matter with distinct properties: Solid: fixed volume and shape. Liquid: fixed volume but will flow to fill a container. Gas: volume is not fixed and it will expand to fill the container it is in. In some vases this classification breaks down and there is a whole area of chemistry/physics dedicated to describing and classifying such cases.

It's the amount of cubic space within it.
if i assume that by "without a shape" you mean having an irregular or difficult shape to use math equations to calculate then you could use water displacement for example, in a measured container filled with a specific pre-measured amount of water, noting the volume, add the solid and now you can subtract the old volume from the first to get the solid's volume
Fixed volume In terms of gases,is that a fixed volume would mean that the pressure, temperature and the number of molecules can change but the volume, or area in which the molecules lie, must remain constant. Think of a metal drinking bottle versus a plastic bottle. You cannot squirt water from a metal bottle because the shape is fixed, therefore the volume. You can squirt water from a plastic bottle because you can change the shape and reduce the volume.
matter with a definite shape and volume and has tightly packed particles that move mainly by vibrating
Assuming you mean a tetrahedron, the volume is 1/3*area of base*height cubic units.
Definite volume and definite shape mean they aren't going to change, regardless of the container you put them in. In other words, it's a solid. Whether you put a cement brick in a square box, triangle shaped box or heart shaped box, the brick's shape is still a rectangle. A liquid doesn't have a fixed shape - it will take the shape of whatever container you put it in.
They do not have the exact volume or shape.
