left; right; up; down; in front of; behind; and the compass directions
which are also known as cardinal points [i.e. North(N), South(S), East(E)
and West(W)]

Volume
What is a Volume?
- The 3-dimensional space occupied by a gas, liquid, or a solid substance.
What is Capacity?
Understanding Volume
- It is also known as Capacity.
- Shapes are three dimensional (3D).
- Units of a volume include ml; l and kl
- Units of a solid volume include: mm3, cm3, m3, km3
Cap.= 5000 l

Triangular Prism
Volume = ½ × b × h × H V=½×b×h×H
= ½ × 12m x 3m x 8m
= 144m3
Base = 12m
height = 3m
Height =8m
Cylinder
Where 𝝅 = 3,142
Radius = 2cm
Height = 5 cm
Calculating Volume
- Make sure that units are the same before substituting into the given formula.
- When the diameter is given, divide it by two to get the radius before
substituting into the formula.
- (radius)2 does not mean “multiply by 2”.
e.g. 52 = 5 x 5 = 25
52 ≠ 5 x 2

INFORMATION:
- The stand and all external attachments are made of stainless steel
and will not be painted.
- The base area of these external attachments is 1 m 2.
- 1 m 3 = 1 000 ℓ
- All dimensions shown are outer measurements
1.3.2 The steel used to make the tank is 5 mm thick all around. For
safety reasons, the tank is filled to 95% of its capacity.
(a) Show that the inner diameter of the tank is 3,21 m. (2)
(b) Calculate the maximum litres of diesel that this tank can
hold according to safety regulations.
Page 62 of 64
1.3.3 The external surface area of the tank, excluding the base area
of the external attachments, needs to be painted. The spread
rate of the paint is 3 m2 /ℓ. The manager states that he would
need less than 30 litres of paint to complete the task.
Verify, by showing ALL calculations, whether the manager is
CORRECT.
