What is the formula for calculating the volume of a cube?

Back

Volume = side³ (where 'side' is the length of one edge of the cube).

Front

If a rectangular prism has a volume of 48 ft³, what could be one possible set of dimensions?

Back

Possible dimensions could be 4 ft x 3 ft x 4 ft.

What is the volume of a rectangular prism with a base area of 15 cm² and a height of 6 cm?

Back

The volume is 90 cubic cm.

Front

How do you determine if a set of dimensions can create a specific volume for a rectangular prism?

Back

Multiply the dimensions (length, width, height) and check if the product equals the specified volume.

What is the volume of a cube with a side length of 3 cm?

Back

The volume is 27 cubic cm.

Front

What is the significance of units when calculating volume?
