lab quiz 2 Flashcards
what are the three basic metric measurements for length, volume, and mass?
meter for length, liter for volume, and Gram for mass
1000 milimeters (mm)
1 meter (m)
100 centimeter (cm)
1 meter (m)
1000 meters (m)
1 kilometer (km)
area formula (units square)
area= length * width
surface area
the amount of space that is exposed on the surface of an object
surface area of a cube (units square)
surface area= length * width * 6 (6 sides of the square)
volume formula (units cubed)
volume= length * width* height
mass
the mass of an object is a measure of its matter. mass is not affected by gravity and is more appropriate measure to use than weight
density (mass/unit volume)
density= mass/volume
celsius to Fahrenheit
F=(9/5x degrees^C) +32
Fahrenheit to celsius
C=5/9(degree^F-32)
