Finding Volume of Rectangular Prisms

Front

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

Back

Volume = length × width × height.

Front

If a rectangular prism has a length of 5 cm, a width of 4 cm, and a height of 3 cm, what is its volume?

Back

Volume = 5 cm × 4 cm × 3 cm = 60 cubic cm.

Front

What units are used to measure volume?

Back

Cubic units (e.g., cubic centimeters, cubic meters, cubic inches).

Front

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

Back

Increasing any dimension (length, width, or height) will increase the volume, while decreasing any dimension will decrease the volume.

Front

What is the volume of a rectangular prism with a length of 10 units, width of 2 units, and height of 5 units?

Back

Volume = 10 units × 2 units × 5 units = 100 cubic units.

Front

If the volume of a rectangular prism is 72 cubic cm and the height is 3 cm, what is the area of the base?

Back

Area of the base = Volume / height = 72 cubic cm / 3 cm = 24 square cm.

Front

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

Back

Volume = base area × height.

Front

If a rectangular prism has a volume of 240 cubic inches and a height of 10 inches, what is the area of the base?

Back

Area of the base = Volume / height = 240 cubic inches / 10 inches = 24 square inches.

Front

What happens to the volume of a rectangular prism if all dimensions are doubled?

Back

The volume increases by a factor of 8 (2^3) because volume is a three-dimensional measurement.

Front

How do you convert cubic centimeters to cubic meters?

Back

1 cubic meter = 1,000,000 cubic centimeters.
