What is a prism?

Back

A prism is a three-dimensional geometric shape with two parallel, congruent bases connected by rectangular or parallelogram faces.

Front

How do you calculate the volume of a rectangular prism?

Back

Volume = length × width × height.

Front

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

Back

Volume = (Base Area × Height) where Base Area = (1/2 × base × height of the triangle).

Front

What units are used to measure volume?

Back

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

Front

If a rectangular prism has a length of 4 in, width of 4 in, and height of 4 in, what is its volume?

Back

Volume = 4 in × 4 in × 4 in = 64 in³.

Front

What is the volume of a triangular prism with a base area of 10 cm² and a height of 6 cm?

Back

Volume = 10 cm² × 6 cm = 60 cm³.

Front

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

Back

The volume of a prism is directly proportional to its base area and height.

Front

How does the height of a prism affect its volume?

Back

Increasing the height of a prism increases its volume, assuming the base area remains constant.

Front

What is the volume of a prism with a base area of 12 in² and a height of 5 in?

Back

Volume = 12 in² × 5 in = 60 in³.

Front

If the base of a triangular prism is 6 cm and its height is 4 cm, what is the area of the base?

Back

Base Area = (1/2 × base × height) = (1/2 × 6 cm × 4 cm) = 12 cm².
