28.4.1 The Intuition of Volume

Core idea

Pour water into a container and the amount of water is the volume; start simple with a box, where V = length × width × height.

Module goal. Starting from the principle that equal heights and matching cross-sections mean equal volume, make clear where the volume formulas for prisms, cones, and spheres come from, rather than memorizing them.
