Unit Cubes and Solid Figures

Front

What is a unit cube?

Back

A unit cube is a cube that has a volume of one cubic unit. It is the smallest building block for creating larger three-dimensional shapes.

Front

How do you find the volume of a solid figure made of unit cubes?

Back

The volume of a solid figure made of unit cubes is found by counting the total number of unit cubes that make up the figure.

Front

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

Back

The volume of a rectangular prism is calculated using the formula: Volume = length × width × height.

Front

If a solid figure is made of 8 unit cubes, what is its volume?

Back

The volume of the solid figure is 8 cubic units.

Front

How many unit cubes are in a solid figure that has a volume of 12 cubic units?

Back

There are 12 unit cubes in the solid figure.

Front

What does it mean if a solid figure has a volume of 16 cubic units?

Back

It means that the solid figure is made up of 16 unit cubes.

Front

How can you visualize a solid figure made of unit cubes?

Back

You can visualize a solid figure made of unit cubes by imagining or drawing a 3D shape that is built up from individual cubes stacked together.

Front

What is the difference between a solid figure and a flat shape?

Back

A solid figure has three dimensions (length, width, height), while a flat shape only has two dimensions (length and width).

Front

If a solid figure is built with 10 unit cubes and has a height of 2 units, what could be its possible base area?

Back

The possible base area could be 5 square units (5 units long and 1 unit wide) or 10 square units (5 units long and 2 units wide).

Front

What is a common mistake when counting unit cubes in a solid figure?

Back

A common mistake is to count only the visible cubes and forget to include those that are hidden from view.
