Exploring Volume Calculations of Rectangular Prisms

What is the primary difference between area and volume?

• Area and volume are essentially the same.

• Volume can only be calculated for circular shapes.

• Area is used for measuring liquids, while volume is for solids.

• Volume measures the space inside a 3D shape, while area measures the surface of a 2D shape.

What determines the name of a prism?

• Its volume

• The shape of its base

• The number of sides it has

• Its color
