Detailed explanation-1: -Volume is a measure of the amount of space that a substance or an object takes up. The basic SI unit for volume is the cubic meter (m3), but smaller volumes may be measured in cm3, and liquids may be measured in liters (L) or milliliters (mL).

Detailed explanation-2: -Volume simply refers to the space an object takes up. Depending on the physical state of an object, there are a couple ways to measure volume. If we are trying to measure the volume of a box, for instance, we would multiply the length of the box by its height and by its width.

Detailed explanation-3: -noun. : displacement of a fluid expressed in terms of volume as distinguished from displacement expressed in terms of mass.

Detailed explanation-4: -The displacement method (submersion, or dunking method) can be used to accurately measure the volume of the human body and other oddly shaped objects by measuring the volume of fluid displaced when the object is submerged, as illustrated in the figure below.

Detailed explanation-5: -The water displacement method is a system of measurements used to determine the volume of an object that does not have a regular shape. These objects are often referred to as irregularly shaped solids.
