Calculating Volume

Front

What is the formula used to find the volume of a rectangular prism?

Back

V = Lwh, where V is volume, L is length, w is width, and h is height.

Front

What is volume?

Back

Volume is the amount of space occupied by a three-dimensional object, measured in cubic units.

Front

What units are commonly 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 rectangular prism with length 4 cm, width 3 cm, and height 2 cm?

Back

V = Lwh = 4 cm × 3 cm × 2 cm = 24 cm³.

Front

Which unit is NOT used for volume?

Back

km² is NOT used for volume; it is a unit of area.

Front

How do you calculate the volume of a cube?

Back

V = s³, where s is the length of a side of the cube.

Front

What is the volume of a cube with a side length of 5 cm?

Back

V = 5 cm × 5 cm × 5 cm = 125 cm³.

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.

Front

What is the volume of a cylinder with a radius of 3 cm and a height of 5 cm?

Back

V = πr²h = π(3 cm)²(5 cm) ≈ 141.37 cm³.

What is the formula for the volume of a sphere?

Back

V = (4/3)πr³, where r is the radius of the sphere.
