Exploring the Volume of Rectangular and Triangular Prisms

What is the primary difference between a rectangle and a rectangular prism?

• A rectangular prism is always smaller than a rectangle.

• Rectangles and rectangular prisms are the same.

• A rectangular prism has one more dimension than a rectangle.

• A rectangle can contain more area than a rectangular prism.

How do you find the area of a rectangle?

• Subtract the width from the length.

• Divide the length by the width.

• Add the length and the width.

• Multiply the length by the width.

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

• Length + Width + Height

• Length x Width x Height

• Length / Width / Height

• Length - Width - Height

If a rectangle has a length of 7 cm and a width of 5 cm, what is its area?

• 14 cm squared

• 10 cm squared

• 35 cm squared

• 12 cm squared

To find the volume of a rectangular prism with a base area of 35 cm squared and a height of 10 cm, what operation do you perform?

• Add 35 and 10

• Subtract 10 from 35

• Multiply 35 by 10

• Divide 35 by 10

Can the formula for finding the volume of a rectangular prism be used for triangular prisms?

• Yes, without any changes.

• No, it's completely different.

• Only if the triangular prism has a rectangular base.

• Yes, with adjustments for the base area.

How do you find the area of a triangle?

• 2(Base + Height)

• Base x Height

• Base + Height

• 1/2 Base x Height

What is the volume of a triangular prism with a base length of 4 inches, a base height of 7 inches, and a prism height of 12 inches?

• 168 inches cubed

• 96 inches cubed

• 84 inches cubed

• 56 inches cubed

What does the 'H' represent in the volume formula for prisms?

• The width of the base

• The height of the base

• The height of the prism

• The length of the prism

To calculate the volume of any prism, what is the general formula?

• Volume = Base Area / Height

• Volume = Base Area - Height

• Volume = Base Area + Height

• Volume = Base Area x Height
