Volume of Prisms and Pyramids Explained

What is the primary focus of Chapter 9 in the video?

• Trigonometry

• Circles and spheres

• Volume of prisms and pyramids

• Algebraic equations

What property does volume measure in a 3D object?

• Capacity to contain substances

• Perimeter

• Weight

• Surface area

How does the dimensionality of an object affect its ability to hold volume?

• Only two-dimensional objects can hold volume

• Only three-dimensional objects can hold volume

• All objects can hold volume regardless of dimensionality

• Only circular objects can hold volume

How is the volume of a prism calculated?

• Base area plus height

• 1/3 base area times height

• Base area times height

• Length times width times height

What is the formula for the volume of a pyramid?

• Base area times height

• 1/3 base area times height

• Length times width times height

• Base area divided by height

Why is the volume of a pyramid one-third that of a prism with the same base and height?

• It can fit three pyramids into one prism

• Due to its triangular sides

• Because it has fewer sides

• Due to its base area being smaller

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

• Base area and length

• Height and width

• Length and width

• Length, width, and height

If a rectangular prism has a base area of 24 cm² and a height of 2 cm, what is its volume?

• 26 cm³

• 48 cm³

• 12 cm³

What is the volume of a pyramid with a base area of 96 cm² and a height of 10 cm?

• 960 cm³

• 106 cm³

• 320 cm³

• 30 cm³
