Volume of Rectangular Prism

PROBLEM #1

What is asked in the problem?

• The height of the container.

• The volume of each chocolate bar.

• The volume of the rectangular container.

• The number of chocolate bars needed to fill the container

What are the given facts in the problem?

• Length = 70 cm

  Width = 40 cm

  Height = 10 cm

• Length = 10 cm

  Width = 40 cm

  Height = 70 cm

• Length = 40 cm

  Width = 70 cm

  Height = 10 cm

• Length = 70 m

  Width = 40 m

  Height = 10 m

What is the formula to be used?

• Volume = Length x Width ÷ Height

• Volume = Length + Width x Height

• Volume = Length x Width x Height

• Volume = Length x Width - Height

What is the number sentence?

• Volume = 70 m x 40 m x 10 m

• Volume = 70 cm x 40 cm x 10 cm

• Volume = 70 cm x 40 cm + 10 cm

• Volume = 70 cm + 40 cm ÷ 10 cm

What is the final answer?

• The volume of the rectangular container is 2 800 cm3.

• The volume of each chocolate bar is 28 000 m3.

• The volume of the rectangular container is

  28 000 cm3

• The rectangular container needs 28 000 chocolate bars.

  40 cm wide

  2 cm thick

• 240 cm long

  40 cm wide

  2 cm thick

• 360 cm long

  40 cm wide

  2 cm thick

  Reduced 240 cm long

• 40 cm wide

  2 cm thick

What is the formula to be used?

• Volume = Length x Width ÷ Height

• Volume = Length + Width x Height

• Volume = Length x Width x Height

• Volume = Length x Width - Height

What is the number sentence?

• Volume = 360 cm x 40 cm x 2 cm

• Volume = 120 cm x 40 cm + 2 cm

• Volume = 120 cm x 40 cm x 2 cm

• Volume = 120 cm + 40 cm ÷ 2 cm

What is the final answer?

• The volume of the wooden plank is 9,600 cm3

• The volume of the wooden plank is 96,000 m3

• The volume of the wood is 960 m3

• The volume of the wooden plank is 9,700 cm3
