The volume of a shape is the measure of how much three-dimensional space that shape takes up. You can also think of the volume of a shape as how much water (or air, or sand, etc.) the shape could hold if it was filled completely. Common units of volume include cubic centimeters (cm 3), cubic meters (m 3), cubic inches (in 3), and cubic feet (ft 3).
