• Volume

• Surface Area

• Rectangular Prism

• Base Area

Solve for the Volume of the prism.

• 8.5 centimeters cubed

• 10.75 centimeters cubed

• 21.5 centimters cubed

• 28.5 centimeters cubed

Part A: The area of the base of a sandbox is 𝟗½ ft². The volume of the sand box is 𝟕 1/8 ft³. Determine the height of the sand box.

• 3/4 ft

• 57/76 ft

• 1 1/3 ft

• 2 1/3 ft

Part B: The area of the base of a sandbox is 𝟗½ ft². The volume of the sand box is 𝟕 1/8 ft³. The sandbox was filled with sand, but after the kids played, some of the sand spilled out. Now, the sand is at a height of ½ ft. Determine the volume of the sand in the sandbox after the children played in it.

• 3/4 ft

• 57/76 ft

• 1 1/3 ft

• 4 3/4 ft³

Which formulas can be used to find the volume of a rectangular prism?

• V = L x W

• V = L x W x H

• V = b x H

• V = B x H

• V = L x W/H

Determine how much water is already in the tank.

• 9/40 meters cubed

• 9/80 meters cubed

• 9/128 meters cubed

• 9/140 meters cubed

How much more water is needed to fill the tank?

• 9/40 meters cubed

• 9/80 meters cubed

• 27/128 meters cubed

• 27/640 meters cubed

How are you feeling about finding volume of a rectangular prism in different situations?

• Um.... what's Volume again?

• I can tell you the formula and plug in the numbers to solve for volume but that's enough!

• I can find volume and tell you how many fractional cubes are needed to fill the space, but the volume in the real world questions are too much.

• I can find the volume and solve the volume in the real world questions, but finding how many fractional cubes are needed to fill the space is too much.

• I got this! All of it. I could teach the class!
