Volume of Rectangular Prisms

Front

What is the formula for calculating the volume of a rectangular prism?

Back

Volume = length × width × height.

Front

What unit of measurement is commonly used for volume in the U.S. customary system?

Back

Cubic inches (cu in), cubic feet (cu ft), etc.

Front

What dimension is typically referred to as the 'height' of a rectangular prism?

Back

The vertical measurement from the base to the top.

Front

If a rectangular prism has a length of 4 inches, a width of 3 inches, and a height of 2 inches, what is its volume?

Back

24 cubic inches (4 × 3 × 2 = 24).

Front

How does changing the height of a rectangular prism affect its volume?

Back

Increasing the height increases the volume, while decreasing the height decreases the volume.

Front

What is the volume of a rectangular prism with dimensions 5 ft (length), 4 ft (width), and 2 ft (height)?

Back

40 cubic feet (5 × 4 × 2 = 40).

Front

What is the significance of the term 'cubic' in volume measurement?

Back

It indicates that the measurement is in three dimensions (length, width, height).

Front

How can you find the volume of a rectangular prism if you only know the area of the base and the height?

Back

Volume = base area × height.

Front

What is the volume of a rectangular prism with a base area of 10 square inches and a height of 3 inches?

Back

30 cubic inches (10 × 3 = 30).

Front

What is the relationship between the dimensions of a rectangular prism and its volume?

Back

The volume is directly proportional to the product of its length, width, and height.
