Calculating Volume of Prisms

This video tutorial covers the concept of calculating the volume of rectangular prisms. It introduces the formula for volume calculation, which is the product of length, width, and height. The tutorial provides examples using fractions and mixed numbers to demonstrate the calculation process. Students are given practice problems to solve independently, and the video also explains how to find missing dimensions when the volume is known.

What is the formula for calculating the volume of a rectangular prism?

• Volume = Length x Width x Height

• Volume = Length x Width

• Volume = Width x Height

• Volume = Length + Width + Height

In the context of volume, what does 'cubic' refer to?

• The unit of measurement

• The shape of the prism

• The type of material

• The method of calculation

When finding the volume of a rectangular prism, what is the first step?

• Add the length, width, and height

• Convert all measurements to meters

• Find a corner and identify the three dimensions

• Divide the length by the width

How do you multiply fractions when calculating volume?

• Multiply the numerators and add the denominators

• Add the numerators and denominators

• Divide the numerators by the denominators

• Multiply the numerators and the denominators

What is the volume of a cube with each side measuring 3/4?

• 3/4 cubic units

• 27/64 cubic units

• 64/27 cubic units

• 9/16 cubic units

What is the volume of a rectangular prism with dimensions 1, 4/3, and 1/2?

• 2/3 cubic units

• 1/2 cubic units

• 1 cubic unit

• 3/4 cubic units

If the volume of a prism is 72 cubic units, and the width and height are 6 and 2 respectively, what is the length?

• 10 units

• 8 units

• 12 units

• 6 units

What is the first step in solving for a missing dimension when given the volume?

• Divide the volume by the product of the known dimensions

• Add all known dimensions

• Multiply all known dimensions

• Subtract the known dimensions from the volume

If a prism has a volume of 1375 cubic units, a length of 20 units, and a height of 5.5 units, what is the width?

• 20 units

• 12.5 units

• 15 units

• 10 units

How do you solve for a missing dimension using the volume formula?

• Divide the volume by the product of the known dimensions

• Subtract the known dimensions from the volume

• Multiply the volume by the known dimensions

• Add the volume to the known dimensions
