In this clip, two young men compare the sizes of three hypothetical candy bars to decide which to buy.

Bill demonstrates how to measure the area of different rectangles and the volume of a cube. He explains what the area and volume mean: how much room the shape takes up.

The video discusses how standard sizes revolutionized marketing and assembly line production. It also highlights how important standard sizes are in terms of sales and production. Companies used standard sizes to create a level of predictability regarding how many of each size to manufacture and/or order, and they credit size standardization for being able to create more accurate predictions.

Bianca is babysitting a set of twin boys and needs to feed them exactly 9 ounces of baby formula. She tries to find two containers that have the same volume so that she can feed each baby the same amount. She tests out different containers and learns that, although some containers may look different, they can hold the same volume.

Digit, Jackie, Inez, and Matt miscalculate the amount of cryoxide they would need to fill Motherboard's tank. Her tank had more depth than they thought since part of it was hidden. They discuss how the shape of the container doesn't determine how much liquid it can hold; its total volume does. They use the contaminated junk they previously took out from the tank to determine how much more cryoxide to obtain.
