volume

Everyday

1. How loud a sound is (turn the volume up or down). tree →
2. How much space something takes up or holds, measured in cubic units or in litres and millilitres. tree →
3. An amount of something, especially a large one (the volume of traffic). tree →
4. One book of a set or series (volume 3). tree →

In the lessons

In maths, volume is the space inside a 3-D shape: for a cuboid, volume = length × width × height, in cubic centimetres (cm³) or cubic metres (m³). In science, the volume of a liquid is measured with a measuring cylinder in millilitres (ml) or litres (l). In everyday life volume is mostly about sound: TV, music, voice. Phrases: turn the volume up/down, volume control, full volume, in volume, volume of water.

Examples

• Please turn the volume down, I'm trying to sleep. tree →
• The volume of a box 2 cm by 3 cm by 4 cm is 24 cubic centimetres. tree →
• We measured the volume of water in the jug: 500 millilitres. tree →
• Loud volume through headphones can damage your hearing. tree →
• The encyclopedia has twenty volumes. tree →
• Ice has a bigger volume than the same water as a liquid. tree →
• There was a huge volume of traffic on the motorway. tree →
• And the bandmaster wrote a work of twenty-five volumes about the artificial bird. tree →

Note

Maths: volume is 3-D (cubic units: cm³, m³); area is 2-D (square units: cm²); perimeter is length around (cm). 1 litre = 1000 ml = 1000 cm³. «Volume» (space) is not «mass» or «weight» (how heavy). In safety: keep headphone volume low to protect your ears.

In Jewish tradition
