Measure the length, mass, and volume of a pencil using appropriate units.
STEP 1
Assumptions1. We are asked to select the appropriate units of measurement for the length, weight (or mass), and volume of a pencil. . We assume standard units of measurement centimeters (cm) for length, grams (g) for weight or mass, and cubic centimeters (cm³) for volume.
STEP 2
The length of a pencil is a linear measurement, so we would use a unit of length to measure it. The standard unit of length in the metric system is the centimeter (cm).
STEP 3
The weight or mass of a pencil is a measure of how heavy it is. The standard unit of mass in the metric system is the gram (g).
STEP 4
The volume of a pencil is a measure of the amount of space it occupies. The standard unit of volume in the metric system is the cubic centimeter (cm³).
In conclusion, the length of a pencil is measured in centimeters (cm), the weight or mass of a pencil is measured in grams (g), and the volume of a pencil is measured in cubic centimeters (cm³).
