Geometric Measurements: Fundamental Tools For Mathematical Modeling

This document discusses geometric measurements and calculating volume. It defines volume as the amount of space occupied by a three-dimensional object expressed in cubic units. It then provides examples of calculating the volume of basic shapes like cylinders and rectangular prisms using their dimensions and relevant formulas. For cylinders, volume equals pi times the radius squared times the height. For rectangular prisms, volume equals length times width times height. The document demonstrates calculating the volumes of sample cylinders and prisms to showcase these formulas.
