The Relationship Between Distance and Volume











                              Given the previous definitions for distance and volume as units of measure, the


                              relationship between these two measurements may not be immediately obvious.

                              However, consider a box that is 3 feet wide, 2 feet tall and 4 feet long.



                              The volume of this box can be determined by multiplying each of the dimensions

                              provided: Length x width x height



                              Therefore, the volume is:



                              4 ft x 3 ft x 2 ft = 24 ft x ft x ft
