volume and surface area of prism flashcard review

Front

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

Back

Volume = Length × Width × Height

Front

What is the formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism?

Back

Surface Area = 2(Length × Width + Length × Height + Width × Height)

Front

What unit is used to measure volume?

Back

Cubic units (e.g., cm³, in³, m³)

Front

What unit is used to measure surface area?

Back

Square units (e.g., cm², in², m²)

If each side of a cube measures 's', what is the volume of the cube?

Back

Volume = s³

Front

If a box has a volume of 60 cm³ and a length of 5 cm and a width of 3 cm, what is the height?

Back

Height = Volume / (Length × Width) = 60 / (5 × 3) = 4 cm

Front

How do you find the surface area of a cube?

Back

Surface Area = 6s², where 's' is the length of a side.

Front

What is the relationship between volume and surface area in prisms?

Back

Volume measures the space inside, while surface area measures the total area of the outer surfaces.
