Drag and Drop

Which of these means the same as the question,

What is the volume of the stack?

​

Placeholder

Drag these tiles and drop them in the correct blank above

How many cubes fill the space inside?

How long is the stack?

How many squares cover the surface?

What is the length times the width?

​Choice C (How many cubes would you need to fill it?) means the same as What is the volume of the stack?

​Volume is a 3-dimensional measurement.

C is the only question that is about 3-dimensional space.

You can see the 3 dimensions: height, length, and width in the illustration.

A) How long is the stack? is about the length of the stack,

which would be measured with centimeters, not cubic centimeters.

B) How many squares cover the surface? is about the area of the stack.

This might be appropriate if we wanted to know how much paper it would take to cover the outside of the stack, but it doesn’t tell us the volume.

Area is measured in square centimeters, not cubic centimeters.

D) What is the length times the width? is also a question about area, not volume.

​​The other choices are wrong for different reasons.
