Finding the Volume of Rectangular Prisms

Front

What is the formula for finding the volume of a rectangular prism?

Back

V = Bh, where V is volume, B is the area of the base, and h is the height.

Front

What does 'B' represent in the volume formula V = Bh?

Back

B represents the area of the base of the rectangular prism.

Front

If the base of a rectangular prism is 19 inches by 14 inches, what is the area of the base?

Back

B = 19 inches × 14 inches = 266 square inches.

Front

What units are used to measure volume?

Back

Common units for volume include cubic centimeters (cm³), cubic inches (in³), and cubic feet (ft³).

Front

How do you find the volume of a rectangular prism with a base area of 50 cm² and a height of 10 cm?

Back

V = Bh = 50 cm² × 10 cm = 500 cm³.

Front

What is the volume of a rectangular prism with dimensions 5 cm, 4 cm, and 3 cm?

Back

V = 5 cm × 4 cm × 3 cm = 60 cm³.

Front

If a rectangular prism has a volume of 240 in³ and a base area of 30 in², what is its height?

Back

h = V/B = 240 in³ / 30 in² = 8 in.

Front

What is the volume of a rectangular prism with a length of 10 ft, width of 6 ft, and height of 4 ft?

Back

V = 10 ft × 6 ft × 4 ft = 240 ft³.

Front

How do you convert cubic centimeters to cubic inches?

Back

1 cm³ = 0.0610237 in³. To convert, multiply the volume in cm³ by 0.0610237.

Front

What is the volume of a rectangular prism if its base area is 12 m² and its height is 5 m?

Back

V = Bh = 12 m² × 5 m = 60 m³.
