VOLume
definition
Volume is the quantity of three-dimensional space enclosed by some closed boundary, for example, the space that a substance (solid, liquid, gas, or plasma) or shape occupies or contains. Volume is often quantified numerically using the SI derived unit, the cubic meter. The volume of a container is generally understood to be the capacity of the container.
Formulae for finding volume
