Calculating Volume of Prisms

This video tutorial covers the calculation of the volume of a prism using the formula length times width times height. It explains that the order of multiplication does not affect the result and demonstrates a step-by-step calculation. The tutorial also covers converting the volume from cubic centimeters to milliliters and visualizes the volume in a beaker.

What is the main objective of this lesson?

• To determine the perimeter of a square

• To measure the height of a cylinder

• To calculate the volume of a prism

• To find the area of a rectangle

Which formula is used to calculate the volume of a prism?

• Length x Width

• Length x Width x Height

• Width x Height

• Length + Width + Height

Why does the order of multiplication not matter in volume calculation?

• Because division is commutative

• Because subtraction is commutative

• Because multiplication is commutative

• Because addition is commutative

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

• Add length, width, and height

• Multiply width by height

• Subtract height from length

• Multiply length by width
