Calculating the Volume of a Calculating the Volume of a Regular ObjectRegular Object

►Calculating the volume of a regular Calculating the volume of a regular object is easy. object is easy.

► Just multiply Length X Width X HeightJust multiply Length X Width X Height

Height

Width

Length

Calculating the Volume of a Calculating the Volume of a Cubic ObjectCubic Object

►For instance, if you have a cube For instance, if you have a cube that is 4 centimeters long, 4 that is 4 centimeters long, 4 centimeters wide and 4 centimeters wide and 4 centimeters high you would centimeters high you would multiply 4cm X 4cm X 4cm = 64 multiply 4cm X 4cm X 4cm = 64 cubic centimeterscubic centimeters
