Finding Volume of Rectangular Prisms

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

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

Back

24 cubic units.

Front

What is the volume of a rectangular prism with dimensions 5 cm (length), 4 cm (width), and 3 cm (height)?

Back

60 cubic cm.

Front

What are the units used to measure volume?

Back

Cubic units, such as cubic centimeters (cm³), cubic meters (m³), or cubic feet (ft³).

Front

If the length of a rectangular prism is doubled, how does that affect the volume?

Back

The volume also doubles, since volume is directly proportional to length.

Front

What is the volume of a tank that is 3 feet long, 3 feet wide, and 4 feet tall?

Back

36 cubic feet.

Front

If a box has a volume of 72 cubic units and a height of 3 units, what is the area of the base?

Back

24 square units (Area = Volume ÷ Height).

Front

What is the volume of a rectangular prism with a length of 6 inches, a width of 2 inches, and a height of 5 inches?

Back

60 cubic inches.

Front

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

Back

Changing the width will change the volume proportionally, as volume depends on all three dimensions.
