Volume of Prisms Concepts

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the volume of a prism using its dimensions. It begins by introducing the concept of volume and the formula for calculating it: length times width times height. The tutorial then provides the specific dimensions of the prism and demonstrates the step-by-step calculation process, resulting in a final volume of 720 cubic feet. The video concludes with a recap of the calculation process.

What is the first step in finding the volume of a prism?

• Add the length, width, and height

• Multiply the length, width, and height

• Subtract the width from the length

• Divide the height by the width

If a prism has a length of 10 feet, a width of 6 feet, and a height of 12 feet, what is its volume?

• 600 cubic feet

• 600 square feet

• 720 cubic feet

• 720 square feet

Which of the following is the correct formula for calculating the volume of a prism?

• Volume = length × width × height

• Volume = length + width × height

• Volume = length × width ÷ height

• Volume = length + width + height

What is the unit of measurement for the volume of a prism?

• Linear units

• Cubic units

• Square units

• Circular units

Why is it important to use the correct dimensions when calculating the volume of a prism?

• To reduce the weight of the prism

• To get the correct volume measurement

• To ensure the prism is stable

• To make the prism look bigger
