​OF PRISMS

Today's Objectives:

Learning Objective: Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving volumes of composite three-dimensional objects made up of right prisms

Language Objective: Justify your answer using academic and lesson vocabulary

Volume is defined as the space occupied within the boundaries of an object in three-dimensional space. It is also known as the capacity of the object.

Volume

volume of prisms

Prisms are polyhedron in which all the faces are flat, and the bases are parallel to each other.

Volume of Rectangular prisms

A rectangular prism has four rectangular faces and two parallel rectangular bases.

Formula for volume of a rectangular prism:

​V = length x base x height
