Volume of Rectangular Prisms

Front

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

Back

Volume = length × width × height

Front

If a rectangular prism has a length of 10cm, width of 5cm, and height of 2cm, what is its volume?

Back

Volume = 10cm × 5cm × 2cm = 100cm³

Front

What is a rectangular prism?

Back

A three-dimensional shape with 6 rectangular faces, where opposite faces are equal.

Front

What units are used to measure volume?

Back

Cubic units (e.g., cm³, in³, m³).

Front

If the volume of a rectangular prism is 60cm³ and the base area is 15cm², what is the height?

Back

Height = Volume ÷ Base Area = 60cm³ ÷ 15cm² = 4cm.

Front

What is the base of a rectangular prism?

Back

The base is the bottom face of the prism, defined by its length and width.

Front

How do you find the base area of a rectangular prism?

Back

Base Area = length × width.

Front

What is the difference between volume and surface area?

Back

Volume measures the space inside a 3D shape, while surface area measures the total area of all the faces.

Front

If a rectangular prism has a volume of 240cm³ and a height of 10cm, what is the base area?

Back

Base Area = Volume ÷ Height = 240cm³ ÷ 10cm = 24cm².

Front

What is the height of a rectangular prism with a volume of 300cm³, length of 15cm, and width of 5cm?

Back

Height = Volume ÷ (length × width) = 300cm³ ÷ (15cm × 5cm) = 4cm.
