Volume and Surface Area

Front

What is Volume?

Back

Volume is the amount of space occupied by a three-dimensional object, measured in cubic units.

Front

How do you calculate the volume of a rectangular prism?

Back

Volume = length × width × height.

Front

What is Surface Area?

Back

Surface Area is the total area of the surface of a three-dimensional object, measured in square units.

Front

How do you calculate the surface area of a cube?

Back

Surface Area = 6 × (side length)².

Front

What is the formula for the volume of a cube?

Back

Volume = (side length)³.

Front

What is a triangular prism?

Back

A triangular prism is a three-dimensional shape with two triangular bases and three rectangular faces.

Front

How do you calculate the volume of a triangular prism?

Back

Volume = (Base Area × Height) where Base Area = 1/2 × base × height of the triangle.

Front

If the volume of a cube is 64 cm³, what is the length of one side?

Back

The length of one side is 4 cm, since 4³ = 64.

Front

What units are used to measure volume?

Back

Common units for volume include cubic centimeters (cm³), cubic meters (m³), and liters.

Front

What is the relationship between surface area and volume?

Back

Surface area measures the exterior, while volume measures the interior space of a shape.
