Front

What is volume?

Back

Volume is the amount of space an object occupies, measured in cubic units.

Front

How do you calculate the volume of a cube?

Back

Volume of a cube = side length × side length × side length (V = s³).

Front

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

Back

Volume of a rectangular prism = length × width × height (V = l × w × h).

Front

If a cube has a side length of 3 units, what is its volume?

Back

Volume = 3 × 3 × 3 = 27 cubic units.

Front

What is the volume of a rectangular prism with length 4, width 3, and height 2?

Back

Volume = 4 × 3 × 2 = 24 cubic units.

Front

What units are used to measure volume?

Back

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

Front

What is the volume of a prism with a base area of 10 square units and a height of 5 units?

Back

Volume = base area × height = 10 × 5 = 50 cubic units.

Front

How does changing the height of a prism affect its volume?

Back

Increasing the height of a prism increases its volume, while decreasing the height reduces its volume.

Front

What is the volume of a cube with a side length of 4 units?

Back

Volume = 4 × 4 × 4 = 64 cubic units.

Front

If a rectangular prism has a volume of 36 cubic units and a base area of 9 square units, what is its height?

Back

Height = volume ÷ base area = 36 ÷ 9 = 4 units.
