Calculating Volume of Rectangular Prisms

The video tutorial explains how to find the volume of a right rectangular prism by multiplying its edge lengths. The given dimensions are length 5 inches, width 6 inches, and height 3.5 inches. The process involves drawing the prism, labeling its dimensions, and performing the multiplication in any order. The calculation is demonstrated by first multiplying 3.5 by 6 to get 21, and then multiplying 21 by 5 to obtain the final volume of 105 cubic inches.

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

• Multiply the edge lengths

• Add the edge lengths together

• Subtract the edge lengths

• Divide the edge lengths

Which of the following is NOT a measurement needed to calculate the volume of a rectangular prism?

• Length

• Diagonal

• Width

• Height

If the length is 5 inches, the width is 6 inches, and the height is 3.5 inches, what is the volume of the prism?

• 105 cubic inches

• 90 cubic inches

• 110 cubic inches

• 100 cubic inches

What is the result of multiplying 3.5 by 6 in the volume calculation process?

• 24

• 18

• 21

• 19

What is the final step in calculating the volume of the prism?

• Add the results of previous multiplications

• Multiply the result of 3.5 * 6 by 5

• Subtract the smallest edge length

• Divide the total by 2
