Volume of Right Rectangular Prisms

What is the volume of a rectangular prism?

• The amount of space inside the prism

• The length times the width times the height

• The number of unit cubes it would take to fill the prism

• All of the above

How is volume expressed in geometry?

• In square units

• In cubic units

• In linear units

• In fraction units

What are the dimensions used to calculate the volume of a rectangular prism?

• Length, width, and height

• Area, perimeter, and height

• Radius, diameter, and height

• Base, height, and width

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

• Length + width + height

• Length * width * height

• Length / width / height

• Length - width - height

How can the volume of a rectangular prism be determined more efficiently?

• Counting every single unit cube

• Multiplying the number of cubes in the base layer by the height

• Dividing the length, width, and height by 2

• Adding the length, width, and height
