Front

What is volume?

Back

Volume is the amount of space occupied by a 3D object, measured in cubic units.

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 cm³

Front

What units are used to measure volume?

Back

Common units for volume include cubic centimeters (cm³), cubic meters (m³), and liters.

Front

What is the volume of a cube with a side length of 2 cm?

Back

Volume = side³ = 2 cm × 2 cm × 2 cm = 8 cm³

Front

How do you find the volume of an irregular figure?

Back

You can find the volume of an irregular figure by dividing it into regular shapes, calculating their volumes, and then adding them together.

Front

What is the volume of a rectangular prism with dimensions 2 m, 3 m, and 4 m?

Back

Volume = 2 m × 3 m × 4 m = 24 m³

Front

If the volume of a rectangular prism is 48 cm³ and the height is 4 cm, what is the area of the base?

Back

Area of the base = Volume ÷ height = 48 cm³ ÷ 4 cm = 12 cm²

Front

What is the relationship between volume and capacity?

Back

Volume refers to the space an object occupies, while capacity refers to the amount a container can hold.
