Volume of Rectangular Prisms

What does volume measure in a 3D object?

• The surface area

• The amount of space it occupies

• The weight of the object

• The length of its sides

What formula is used to calculate the volume of a rectangular prism?

• Volume = Length + Width + Height

• Volume = Length x Width

• Volume = Height / Length x Width

• Volume = Length x Width x Height

If the base of a rectangular prism is 5 inches by 4 inches, what is the area of the base?

• 9 square inches

• 20 square inches

• 40 square inches

• 10 square inches

What is the volume of a rectangular prism with dimensions 5 inches by 4 inches by 12 inches?

• 20 cubic inches

• 240 cubic inches

• 60 cubic inches

• 96 cubic inches

When calculating volume, why is it not crucial to distinguish between length and width?

• Because width is always larger than length

• Because length is always equal to width

• Because only height affects the volume

• Because multiplying them in any order gives the same result

What is the first step in calculating the volume of a rectangular prism?

• Divide the length by the width

• Multiply the height by the width

• Add all the sides together

• Calculate the area of the base

If a rectangular prism has a base area of 360 square centimeters and a height of 9 centimeters, what is its volume?

• 3240 cubic centimeters

• 369 cubic centimeters

• 3600 cubic centimeters

• 279 cubic centimeters

What units are used to express the volume of a rectangular prism?

• Square units

• Cubic units

• Linear units

• Kilograms

Why is it important to use the correct units when calculating volume?

• To ensure accuracy in measurement

• Because units do not matter in math

• Because it changes the formula

• To make it easier to memorize

What is the purpose of the formula for volume in mathematics?

• To calculate the weight of an object

• To determine how much space an object occupies

• To measure the surface area of an object

• To find the length of an object
