rectangles and cubes

Front

What is a rectangle?

Back

A rectangle is a four-sided polygon (quadrilateral) with opposite sides that are equal in length and four right angles.

Front

What is a cube?

Back

A cube is a three-dimensional shape with six equal square faces, twelve equal edges, and eight vertices.

Front

How do you calculate the volume of a rectangular prism?

Back

Volume = Length × Width × Height.

Front

What is the volume of a cube with a side length of 3 cm?

Back

Volume = 3 cm × 3 cm × 3 cm = 27 cubic centimeters.

Front

What units are used to measure volume?

Back

Volume is measured in cubic units, such as cubic centimeters (cm³), cubic meters (m³), or liters.

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 cubic centimeters.

Front

What is the formula for the volume of a cube?

Back

Volume = Side length × Side length × Side length.

Front

What is the difference between square units and cubic units?

Back

Square units measure area (2D), while cubic units measure volume (3D).

Front

If the dimensions of a rectangular prism are doubled, how does the volume change?

Back

The volume increases by a factor of 8 (2^3) because volume is a three-dimensional measurement.

Front

What is the volume of a rectangular prism with a base area of 12 cm² and a height of 5 cm?

Back

Volume = Base Area × Height = 12 cm² × 5 cm = 60 cubic centimeters.
