Volume of Rectangular Prisms

Front

What is the volume of a rectangular prism?

Back

The volume of a rectangular prism is the amount of space it occupies, calculated using the formula V = Lwh, where L is length, w is width, and h is height.

How does changing the height of a rectangular prism affect its volume?

Back

Increasing the height of a rectangular prism increases its volume, while decreasing the height decreases its volume, assuming length and width remain constant.

What happens to the volume of a rectangular prism if both the length and width are doubled?

Back

The volume will increase by a factor of four, because V = Lwh and both L and w are doubled (2L * 2w = 4Lw).

If the volume of a rectangular prism is 240 in³ and the length is 10 inches, what is the height if the width is 4 inches?

Back

The height is 6 inches (V = Lwh; 240 = 10 * 4 * h; h = 240 / 40 = 6).
