Volume and Surface Area of Rectangular Prisms

Front

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

Back

Volume = length × width × height

Front

What is the formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism?

Back

Surface Area = 2(length × width + length × height + width × height)

Front

What unit is used for measuring volume?

Back

Cubic units (e.g., cm³, m³) are used for volume.

Front

What unit is used for measuring surface area?

Back

Square units (e.g., cm², m²) are used for surface area.

Front

If a rectangular prism has a length of 5 cm, width of 3 cm, and height of 4 cm, what is its volume?

Back

Volume = 5 cm × 3 cm × 4 cm = 60 cm³

Front

If a rectangular prism has a length of 10 m, width of 2 m, and height of 5 m, what is its surface area?

Back

Surface Area = 2(10 m × 2 m + 10 m × 5 m + 2 m × 5 m) = 140 m²

Front

What is the volume of a rectangular prism with a base area of 20 cm² and a height of 10 cm?

Back

Volume = base area × height = 20 cm² × 10 cm = 200 cm³

Front

How do you convert cubic centimeters to liters?

Back

1 liter = 1000 cm³, so divide the volume in cm³ by 1000 to convert to liters.

Front

What is the relationship between the dimensions of a rectangular prism and its volume?

Back

The volume increases as any of the dimensions (length, width, height) increase.

Front

If the dimensions of a rectangular prism are doubled, how does the volume change?

Back

The volume increases by a factor of 2³ = 8.
