Exploring Volume Calculations of Rectangular Prisms

This video tutorial explains how to calculate the volume of rectangular prisms and introduces the concept of volume as the space inside a 3D figure, measured in cubic units. It covers the formula for volume as the product of length, width, and height, and introduces a general formula for prisms using the area of the base. The tutorial includes examples to demonstrate these calculations.

What does volume measure in a three-dimensional space?

• The amount of space inside the figure

• The distance around the figure

• The number of squares covering the surface

• The length of the figure

What units are used to measure volume?

• Circular units

• Linear units

• Square units

• Cubic units

Which formula is specifically used for calculating the volume of rectangular prisms?

• Length times Width times Height

• Base times Height

• Width times Height

• Area of the base times Height

What does the 'B' represent in the general volume formula 'B x H'?

• The width of the base

• The area of the base

• The base perimeter

• The breadth of the prism

How do you calculate the volume of a cube with side length 4 inches?

• 4 x 4 x 4

• 4 + 4 + 4

• 4 x 4

• 2 x 4 x 4

If a rectangular prism has dimensions 20 yards by 5 yards by 5 yards, what is its volume?

• 100 cubic yards

• 25 cubic yards

• 200 cubic yards

• 500 cubic yards

What is the volume of a prism if the area of its base is 8 square feet and its height is 3 feet?

• 24 cubic feet

• 11 cubic feet

• 18 cubic feet

• 5 cubic feet

In the formula 'V = B x H', if B is 17.28 and H is 1.9, what is the volume?

• 32.832 cubic centimeters

• 25.832 cubic centimeters

• 15.632 cubic centimeters

• 20.832 cubic centimeters

How does the volume change if the height of a prism is doubled while keeping the area of the base constant?

• It halves

• It quadruples

• It remains the same

• It doubles

What is the correct approach to find the volume of a shape with a complex base using the formula 'V = B x H'?

• Add the area of the base to the height

• Multiply the area of the base by the height

• Multiply the length and width of the base by the height

• Multiply the perimeter of the base by the height
