Volume of Rectangular Prisms and Cubes

Front

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

Back

The volume of a rectangular prism is calculated using the formula: Volume = Base Area × Height.

What is the formula for calculating the volume of a cube?

Back

The volume of a cube is calculated using the formula: Volume = Side Length³.

Front

If a rectangular prism has a base area of 20 cm² and a height of 4 cm, what is its volume?

Back

Volume = Base Area × Height = 20 cm² × 4 cm = 80 cm³.

Front

What units are used to measure volume?

Back

Volume is typically measured in cubic units, such as cubic centimeters (cm³), cubic meters (m³), or cubic inches (in³).

Front

How do you convert cubic centimeters to cubic meters?

Back

To convert cubic centimeters to cubic meters, divide the volume in cubic centimeters by 1,000,000 (1 m³ = 1,000,000 cm³).

Front

What is the volume of a rectangular prism with a base area of 15 cm² and a height of 10 cm?

Back

Volume = Base Area × Height = 15 cm² × 10 cm = 150 cm³.

Front

If a cube has a volume of 64 cm³, what is the length of one side?

Back

To find the side length, take the cube root of the volume: Side Length = ∛(64 cm³) = 4 cm.

Front

What is the relationship between the base area and the volume of a rectangular prism?

Back

The volume of a rectangular prism is directly proportional to its base area; increasing the base area while keeping the height constant will increase the volume.

Front

How do you find the volume of a rectangular prism if only the length, width, and height are given?

Back

Use the formula: Volume = Length × Width × Height.

Front

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

Back

Volume = Length × Width × Height = 3 cm × 4 cm × 5 cm = 60 cm³.
