If the object is oddly or irregularly shaped, then it's much easier to measure

its volume with the graduated cylinder than with the ruler. But the volume

is the same no matter how it's measured. If the results are not the same,

then at least one and possibly both measurements were done wrong.

How do you measure volume in the metric system?

Volume in the metric system is measured using the liter (L) as the base unit. Smaller volumes are measured in milliliters (mL) and larger volumes in kiloliters (kL). Instruments such as beakers, graduated cylinders, and burettes are used to measure liquid volumes accurately.


How can you find the volume of sand in a pipe in metric?

A pipe has the shape of a cylinder; just use the formula for the volume of a cylinder. In metric units, you have the advantage that the units are consistent. For example, if the radius and height of the cylinder are measured in decimeters, the volume will be in cubic decimeters (= liters).
