Now try the following question.
E2. UNITS OF VOLUME, AREA & LENGTH & THEIR INTER-CONVERSION
2.1 LENGTH & 1-D
It is logical to begin in one dimension and so key defining relationships for 1-D, i.e., length, would be as follows:
2.2 AREA & 2-D
2.3 VOLUME & 3-D
Initially, visualisation is the key to correct conversions. A sketch should be drawn, similar to the one shown opposite, to guide the conversion, until such times as a mental picture suffices. Usually the sketch will not be able to show the exact physical quantities, but will indicate the values involved.
Volume unit conversions are
considered further in section F2 where the focus turns to solutions:
