What is the formula for calculating cc?
The formula to find the volume of a object or container in cc (cubic centimeters) depends on its shape. Different formulae are used for spherical, triangular, rectangular, cylindrical, etc. shapes. There is no formula for finding the volume of irregular shapes.
Could the water displacement method be used to determine the volume of a rectangular object as well as an irregularly shaped object?
Yes. It doesnt have to be a irregular even though sometimes it is easier just to do the math... for a rectangular object. l x w x h= volume
What is the equation used for calculating density?
density = mass/volume
What formula do you uset determine the volume of a rectangular solid?
The formula used to calculate the volume of a rectangular solid is: L*W*H=V
How is the area of the base of a rectangular prism used in finding it's volume?
The base area * height = Volume

Why is the unit centimeters cubed used when calculating the volume of a rectangular object?
The volume of an object is measured in units3 because it measures the 3 dimensions of the length, height, and width of an object. However, the units themselves are subject to change. For example it could be centimeters3, inches3, feet3, or any other units of measurement cubed.

One method used to measure the volume of an irregular solid involves immersing the object in water?
The method used to measure an irregular solid by placing it in water is called dispersion. If you note the level of the water before placing the object in and the level after, you can find the volume of the object by calculating the difference.
What 3 methods are used for determining volume?
Three methods used for determining volume include measuring the displacement of water when an object is submerged in it (displacement method), calculating the volume by multiplying the object's dimensions (geometric method), and using graduated cylinders or volumetric flasks to directly measure liquid volumes (liquid displacement method).
What two ways can be used to find the amount of space that something takes up?
You can measure the volume of an object by calculating its length, width, and height and multiplying them to find the total space it occupies. Alternatively, you can measure the displacement of water when the object is submerged to find its volume.
What is the equation used for calculating density?
density = mass/volume
When do you use a graduated cylinder to measure the volume of an object?
A graduated cylinder is used to measure the volume of a liquid, not an object. To measure the volume of a solid object, you would typically use a ruler to calculate its dimensions and then use a formula (e.g., V = l × w × h for a rectangular object) to determine its volume.
What formula do you uset determine the volume of a rectangular solid?
The formula used to calculate the volume of a rectangular solid is: L*W*H=V
What is the formula used to find the volume of a circular object?
The formula to find the volume of a cylindrical object (which is a circular object in 3D) is V = πr^2h, where V is the volume, r is the radius of the circular base, and h is the height of the cylinder.
Why is mass used instead of volume when calculating density?
Actually, BOTH are used. You can define density as mass divided by volume (or mass per unit volume).
How do you find volume when mass and density are not givin?
It depends on the way the question is asked. If you are dealing with a cubic or rectangular object, you measure the length, width, and height, and multiply them. If it is a spherical or irregularly shaped object, you could used water displacement to find its volume. If it's a liquid, you could use a graduated cylinder to measure its volume.
