VOLUMES OF PRISMS and CYLINDERS
CONVERTING UNITS OF VOLUME
When we convert volume units from one to another, once again we must determine the conversion factor and decide whether we are multiplying or dividing from the diagram below. This time, because we are dealing with volume (3 dimensions), the conversion factors are all CUBED!!
CAPACITY
Capacity is the volume of fluid that a container can hold. The two very common units of capacity are litres (L) and millilitres (mL).
