Finding Volume of Rectangular Prisms

Front

What is the formula to find the volume of a rectangular prism?

Back

Volume = length × width × height

Front

If a rectangular prism has a length of 5 units, a width of 3 units, and a height of 2 units, what is its volume?

Back

Volume = 5 × 3 × 2 = 30 cubic units

Front

What units are used to measure volume?

Back

Cubic units (e.g., cubic centimeters, cubic meters) are used to measure volume.

Front

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

Back

The volume increases by a factor of 8.

Front

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

Back

Volume = 4 × 4 × 4 = 64 cubic units

Front

How do you find the volume of a prism if you know the area of the base and the height?

Back

Volume = base area × height

Front

What is the volume of a rectangular prism with a length of 1 unit, a width of 1 unit, and a height of 1 unit?

Back

Volume = 1 × 1 × 1 = 1 cubic unit

Front

If a rectangular prism has a volume of 100 cubic units and a height of 5 units, what is the area of the base?

Back

Base area = Volume ÷ height = 100 ÷ 5 = 20 square units

Front

What happens to the volume of a rectangular prism if the height is halved?

Back

The volume is also halved.

Front

If a rectangular prism has a volume of 36 cubic units and a width of 3 units, what is the product of the length and height?

Back

Length × height = Volume ÷ width = 36 ÷ 3 = 12
