5.MD.4 Volume with Unit Cubes

Front

What is volume?

Back

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

Front

How do you calculate the volume of a rectangular prism?

Back

Volume = length × width × height.

Front

What is a unit cube?

Back

A unit cube is a cube with a side length of one unit, used to measure volume.

Front

If a rectangular prism has a length of 4 units, a width of 2 units, and a height of 3 units, what is its volume?

Back

24 cubic units (4 × 2 × 3 = 24).

Front

What is the volume of a prism with a base area of 5 square units and a height of 3 units?

Back

15 cubic units (Volume = base area × height = 5 × 3).

Front

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

Back

8 cubic units (Volume = side × side × side = 2 × 2 × 2).

Front

What does 'cubic units' mean?

Back

Cubic units are the units used to measure volume, indicating how many unit cubes fit into a space.

Front

If a prism has a volume of 20 cubic units and a height of 5 units, what is the area of its base?

Back

4 square units (Base area = Volume ÷ height = 20 ÷ 5).

Front

What is the volume of a rectangular prism with dimensions 3 units by 4 units by 5 units?

Back

60 cubic units (3 × 4 × 5 = 60).

Front

How can you visualize volume?

Back

You can visualize volume by imagining how many unit cubes can fit inside a shape.
