Can you give the volume of the figures above? If you are going to count the cubic units in figure (i) you will say they are 8 cubic units, while in
figure (ii) there 9 cubic units. Will counting the number of cubic units to get the volume be always possible?
row
column
By counting the number of cubes, you get 96 cubes. You can say that the rectangular figure is made of 96 cubes. If 1 cube is 1 cubic unit, then
the volume of the figure is 96 cubic units.
Notice that 96 is the product of 8 x 3 x 4.
This means that the number of cubes that make up the figure is the product of: number of columns x number of rows x number of layers.
Since columns represent length, rows represent width, and layers represent height, you can say that the (V) of the rectangular figure is:
V = length x width x height or V = lwh
Let’s try this.
In this figure there are 5 columns (l), 5 rows (w) and 5 layers (h). Look at the
figures, the first figure represents the whole and the second figure represents the
detached or single layer so we can easily count them. I f each layer has 25
cubes, how many cubes are there for 5 layers? Or How many 5 by 5 by 5
cubes? There are 125 cubic units in this figure.
Now it’s your turn. Give the number of cubic units/volumeof the following figures
V = ____ V = ____ V = ______
E. Discussing new concepts The given cube is 1 m3 (1 m x 1 m x 1 m). Since each edge can be divided into 10 parts,
and practicing new skills #2 the cube can be viewed as 10 dm edge cube, and it is 1000 dm3 cube (10 dm x 10 dm 10
dm). If each edge of the same cube is divided into into 100 parts, the cube then is 1000
000 cm3 cube (100 cm x 100 cm x 100 cm). Hence, 1 m3 is the same as 1000 dm3 and
1000 000 cm3.
1m
10 dm Based on the above qualities, a table of conversion forcubic measures can be derived.
100 cm
1 m3 = 1000 dm3
1 m3 = 1000 000 cm3.
1 dm3 = 1000 cm3.
The conversion table can be used in changing units of volume from larger to smaller unit and vice versa.
In the above examples, the given volume has a bigger unit. The conversion is from bigger to smaller unit.
Let’s Practice:
Convert the given measure to the given unit. Write your answer on the line.
1. 6. 4 m3 = ________ dm3 4. 375 dm3 = ________ m3
2. 7.5 m3 = _________ cm3 5. 9000 cm3 = _______ dm3
3. 12 dm3 = _________ cm3 6. 12 000 cm3 = ________ m3
2. A big box has a volume of 225 m3. What is its volume in cm3? _______________

H. Making generalizations and Volume - is the amount of space inside a space figures. It is measured in cubic units.
abstraction about the lessons The volume of a unit cube whose length, width and height are 1 unit each is 1 cubic unit.
We visualize volume of rectangular prism and cube by counting the number of unit cubes.
The most common of which are cubic millimetres mm3 which is the smallest, followed by centimetres (cm3) , cubic decimetres (dm3) and
the largest cubic metres (m3)
To convert a bigger cubic unit to smaller cubic unit, multiply it by its equivalent cubic measure.
To covert a smaller cubic unit to bigger cubic unit, divide it by its equivalent cubic measure.
