In math, volume is the amount of space inside a three-dimensional object, or its capacity. A measurement of volume offers insight into how much liquid or how many physical objects a person can fit into an object. Knowing the volume of a truck is helpful when planning a move.
Recall that a cube has all edges the same length (See Cube definition). The volume of a cube is found by multiplying the length of any edge by itself twice. So if the length of an edge is 4, the volume is 4 x 4 x 4 = 64. Or as a formula: In the figure above, drag the orange dot to resize the cube. From the edge length shown, calculate the volume of the cube and verify that it agrees with the calculation in the figure.
