Document Summary
This is a measuring system used in science. Another term for it is known as the metric. The definition of length is the distance between two points. The instrument used is a meter stick or a metric ruler. The definition of mass is the amount of matter in a substance. The definition of volume is the amount of space an object occupies. The instrument used is a metric ruler or a graduated cylinder. The definition of time is an interval between two occurrences. The definition of temperature is the average kinetic energy. The base unit is celsius ( c) or kelvin (k). A measurement should include a number and a unit. Significant figures is the measured numbers plus one estimated number. The volume formula of a rectangular solid is. The process that you should use to find the volume of an irregular solid is water displacement. A graduated cylinder has 25. 0ml of water in it.
