How to Measure Volume
Volume can be measured a number of ways depending on the application. In math, volume is equivalent to length x width x height. In science, liquid volume is measured using a graduated cylinder. Solids can be measured by the amount of liquid volume that is displaced. Measure a liquid volume and note the value. Add the solid to the liquid and note the new value. The difference of the two values is the volume of the solid. www.edinformatics.com/math_science/volume In cooking terms, volume is typically reserved for liquids, measured by fluid oz.
