What is "volume"?

Volume refers to the amount of space occupied by a substance or object. It can also refer to the capacity or internal space within an object. Volume is typically measured in units such as liters or cubic meters and is calculated by multiplying the length, width, and height of an object or by using specific formulas for irregular shapes. In the context of liquids or gases, volume is often expressed as the amount of fluid that can be contained within a given container. Volume is a fundamental concept in physics, chemistry, engineering, and other scientific disciplines, and it plays a crucial role in various applications, including the design of containers and the measurement of quantities in everyday life.

a measuring instrument used to measure and draw angles

What is a "protractor"?

A protractor is a tool used to measure and draw angles. It is usually a flat, semicircular or circular device marked with degree measurements from 0 to 180 or 360. The protractor has a straight edge for aligning with a line or point, while the curved side is used to measure the angle between two meeting lines. Protractors are commonly used in geometry, drafting, carpentry, and construction to ensure accurate angle measurements for various projects. They come in different sizes and types, including digital versions for easier reading.
