Volume of Prisms and Cylinders

Front

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

Back

V = (base area)(height)

Front

What is the volume of a prism measured in?

Back

Cubic units (e.g., cm³, yd³) are used to express volume.

Front

How do you calculate the volume of a rectangular prism?

Back

V = length × width × height.

Front

What is the volume of a prism with a base area of 40 cm² and a height of 24 cm?

Back

V = 40 cm² × 24 cm = 960 cm³.

Front

If a prism has a volume of 24 yd³, what does this indicate about its dimensions?

Back

The dimensions of the prism (length, width, height) multiply to give a total volume of 24 cubic yards.

Front

What is the significance of the height in the volume formula for prisms?

Back

The height determines how 'tall' the prism is, affecting the overall volume.

Front

What is the volume of a rectangular prism with dimensions 5 yd, 6 yd, and 11 yd?

Back

V = 5 yd × 6 yd × 11 yd = 330 yd³.

Front

What is the relationship between the base area and the height in the volume formula for prisms?

Back

The volume is directly proportional to both the base area and the height.

Front

What is the volume of a prism with a base area of 10 m² and a height of 3 m?

Back

V = 10 m² × 3 m = 30 m³.

Front

What does it mean if the volume of a prism is expressed in cubic centimeters?

Back

It indicates that the volume is measured in a three-dimensional space, specifically in centimeters.
