Volume of Prisms and Cylinders

Front

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

Back

The volume V of a rectangular prism is given by the formula V = length × width × height.

Front

How do you calculate the volume of a cylinder?

Back

The volume V of a cylinder is calculated using the formula V = πr²h, where r is the radius of the base and h is the height.

Front

What is the value of π (Pi) to two decimal places?

Back

The value of π (Pi) to two decimal places is approximately 3.14.

Front

What is the volume of a prism with a base area of 25 in² and a height of 10 in?

Back

The volume V of the prism is V = base area × height = 25 in² × 10 in = 250 in³.

Front

How do you find the volume of a composite figure?

Back

To find the volume of a composite figure, break it down into simpler shapes, calculate the volume of each shape, and then sum the volumes.

Front

What units are used to measure volume?

Back

Common units for measuring volume include cubic centimeters (cm³), cubic meters (m³), liters (L), and cubic inches (in³).

Front

If a cylinder has a radius of 3 cm and a height of 5 cm, what is its volume using π = 3.14?

Back

The volume V = πr²h = 3.14 × (3 cm)² × 5 cm = 141.3 cm³.

Front

What is the volume of a rectangular prism with dimensions 5 m, 4 m, and 3 m?

Back

The volume V = length × width × height = 5 m × 4 m × 3 m = 60 m³.

Front

How do you round the volume to the nearest hundredth?

Back

To round to the nearest hundredth, look at the third decimal place: if it's 5 or more, round up; if it's less than 5, round down.

Front

What is the volume of a prism with a base area of 12 ft² and a height of 6 ft?

Back

The volume V = base area × height = 12 ft² × 6 ft = 72 ft³.
