Detailed explanation-1: -The volume of an object is the amount of space it fills. Large volumes are measured in cubic metres (m3). Smaller volumes are measured in cubic centimetres (cm3) or cubic millimetres (mm3). In this cuboid there are 3 layers of cubes.

Detailed explanation-2: -The space occupied by an object is called its volume. The SI unit of volume is cubic meter. Other units of volume are cubic centimeter (cc) and litre.

Detailed explanation-3: -Volume is the measure of the 3-dimensional space occupied by matter, or enclosed by a surface, measured in cubic units. The SI unit of volume is the cubic meter (m3), which is a derived unit.

Detailed explanation-4: -Whereas the basic formula for the area of a rectangular shape is length × width, the basic formula for volume is length × width × height. How you refer to the different dimensions does not change the calculation: you may, for example, use ‘depth’ instead of ‘height’.

Detailed explanation-5: -In mathematics, ‘Volume’ is a mathematical quantity that shows the amount of three-dimensional space occupied by an object or a closed surface. The unit of volume is in cubic units such as m3, cm3, in3 etc. Sometimes, volume is also termed capacity.
