Define "cubic unit"
It is used to measure the volume (or space) that is occupied by any solid object OR a three-dimensional figure with sides that measure 1 linear foot
Regular measurements like inches, feet, yards, miles, centimeters, meters, and kilometers describe what
The sides of a shape; like the sides of a rectangle
Name ONE out of TWO terms used for "volume"
Cubic volume or cubic capacity
Define "dimension"
It is a measurable extent of any solid object, such as length, width (breadth), height (depth)
What is another term for "cubic unit"
Unit cube
Name TWO out of five 3D solid shapes
Cone, Cube, Cylinder, Pyramid, and Sphere
Density is an object or material described as a _____
Ratio
Which math course involves two AND three-dimensional objects
Geometry
What formula determines the two-dimensional shape of a square
Formula: Length x Width
Why is the term "cubic" used when calculating the volume of a shipment
Volume depends on Length, Width, and Height of an object
So multiplying these THREE linear measurements gives the cubic measurement
What does 1 cubic foot equals
1,728 cubic inches
What is the unit cubic volume for
48"L by 40"W by 40"H
Formula: Length x Width x Height = Volume
Volume = 76,800 in cubic inches
What is the volume of a cube with sides that measure 1 linear foot
Cubic foot
The volume depends on what THREE elements of a shipment
Length, width, and height
Daily Double!
The density of a object or material remains the same without regards to how much of that object or material is present because ______
Its a ratio
In the Bible, Jesus was buried for how many days
3 days
What number is used to convert:
Volume = 76,800 CUBIC INCHES to CUBIC FOOT
1 cubic foot equals 1,728
So 76,800 cubic inches DIVIDED BY 1,728 cu. ft.
=44.4444
Round that final number down to two decimal places:
= 44.44 ft3
What shipment type does not require freight classification
Partial truckload (PTL)
A pallet is an example of what type of shape
two-dimensional shape (such as a square)
What is ONE out of three standard pallet sizes
48"L x 40"W (in inches)
So divided each dimension by 12 = 4ft x 3.33ft
OR
Multiply the length by width, then divide by 12
= 160 sq. ft.
The other two standard pallet measurements are:
42"L x 42"W AND 48"L x 48"W
Which shipment type requires freight classification?
Less-than-Truckload (LTL)
In the formula: L x W x H
What is the height of any three-dimensional figure sometimes referred to
Depth
What is another term for "mass"
The weight of an object
Triple or Nothing!
What is freight class primarily based on
The density of a shipment
Density - how much space shipment takes up
Ease of Handling - shipment's special handling requirements
Liability - analyzes the risk of theft or damage while shipment is in transit
Stowability - reviews any regulations that may prohibit the shipment from being loaded with other types of freight
