Volume of Rectangular Prisms #2

Front

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

Back

Volume = length × width × height

Front

If a rectangular prism has a length of 3 units, a width of 4 units, and a height of 5 units, what is its volume?

Back

Volume = 3 × 4 × 5 = 60 cubic units

Front

What unit is used to measure volume?

Back

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

Front

What is the volume of a rectangular prism with dimensions 2 units by 3 units by 4 units?

Back

Volume = 2 × 3 × 4 = 24 cubic units

Front

If the volume of a rectangular prism is 30 cubic units and the height is 5 units, what is the area of the base?

Back

Area of the base = Volume ÷ height = 30 ÷ 5 = 6 square units

Front

What dimensions would give a rectangular prism a volume of 12 cubic units?

Back

Possible dimensions: length: 2 units, width: 2 units, height: 3 units.

Front

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

Back

Increasing the height increases the volume, while decreasing the height decreases the volume, assuming the base area remains constant.

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 box has a volume of 64 cubic inches, what could be one set of dimensions?

Back

Possible dimensions: length: 4 inches, width: 4 inches, height: 4 inches.

Front

What is the difference between cubic units and square units?

Back

Cubic units measure volume, while square units measure area.
