Archimedes likely measured the volume of the crown by placing it in a container of water and measuring the water level before and after submerging the crown. By comparing the water displacement, he could determine the volume of the crown. This method utilizes the principle that the volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of the object.

If volume is measured in cubic units how might we calculate the volume of an object?

Volume is length*width*height in cubic units. If this is not possible then when an object is immersed in water the water displaced is equal to the volume of the object which was discovered by Archimedes.

What is the volume of a square pyramid measured in?

The volume of any object is measured in cubic units of length - whatever the shape of the object. The only thing that might change are the units of length themselves: if you are imperial minded, then the volume of a model pyramid would be measured in cubic inches, that of the Egyptian or Central/South American ones would be in cubic yards. If you are SI minded, then you will prefer cubic centimetres or cubic metres.


Juice measured in l or ml?

Juice can be measured in both liters (l) and milliliters (ml), with 1 liter equaling 1,000 milliliters. The choice of measurement typically depends on the volume being measured; larger quantities are often expressed in liters, while smaller amounts are measured in milliliters. For example, a juice bottle might be labeled as containing 1 liter, while a serving might be measured as 250 ml.

Is the height of a car measured in cubic inches?

No. Cubic inches are a measure of volume, not height. The height of a car would be measured in feet and inches or metres and centimetres. Cubic inches might be used to measure the engine capacity of the car.
