Prism Dimensions and Volume Calculations

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the volume of combined prisms by breaking them into separate prisms, calculating the volume of each, and then adding them together. It provides step-by-step instructions for identifying dimensions and performing calculations, along with examples and common errors to avoid.

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

• Multiply all dimensions together

• Break the prism into two separate prisms

• Add the lengths of all sides

• Subtract the height from the width

How do you identify the length of a prism?

• It is the diagonal line

• It is the left-to-right line

• It is the angled line

• It is the up-and-down line

What is the width of Prism 1 if the length is 9 and the height is 2?

• 9

• 7

• 5

• 3

What is the volume of Prism 1 if its dimensions are 9, 5, and 2?

• 60 cubic inches

• 45 cubic inches

• 90 cubic inches

• 30 cubic inches

How do you find the height of Prism 2 if the total height is 5 and Prism 1's height is 2?

• Divide 5 by 2

• Add 2 to 5

• Subtract 2 from 5

• Multiply 2 by 5

What is the volume of Prism 2 if its dimensions are 2, 5, and 3?

• 50 cubic inches

• 20 cubic inches

• 30 cubic inches

• 40 cubic inches

What is the combined volume of the two prisms if Prism 1 is 90 cubic inches and Prism 2 is 30 cubic inches?

• 100 cubic inches

• 130 cubic inches

• 110 cubic inches

• 120 cubic inches

What is the length of Prism 1 in the revisited example if it is 10 inches?

• 9 inches

• 8 inches

• 10 inches

• 11 inches

What is the width of Prism 1 in the revisited example if it is 1 inch?

• 3 inches

• 4 inches

• 2 inches

• 1 inch

What is the height of Prism 1 in the revisited example if it is 3 inches?

• 2 inches

• 5 inches

• 4 inches

• 3 inches
