Finding the Volume of Rectangular Prisms

This video tutorial teaches how to calculate the volume of a rectangular prism using the formula: volume equals length times width times height. It provides four examples with different units of measurement, demonstrating the step-by-step process of substituting values into the formula and calculating the volume. The video emphasizes that the order of length and width does not affect the result and encourages viewers to practice with provided examples.

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

• Volume = Length / Width / Height

• Volume = Length + Width + Height

• Volume = Length * Width * Height

• Volume = Length - Width - Height

If the length is 12 feet, width is 4 feet, and height is 5 feet, what is the volume?

• 240 cubic feet

• 96 cubic feet

• 20 cubic feet

• 60 cubic feet

How does the choice of length and width affect the calculated volume of a rectangular prism?

• Both must be the same

• It does not affect as long as both dimensions are used

• Only the length matters

• Only the width matters

What should be the unit for the volume if the dimensions are given in feet?

• Cubic meters

• Feet

• Square feet

• Cubic feet

In the absence of a drawn prism, how can you calculate the volume using given measurements?

• Estimate based on average dimensions

• Multiply the given length, width, and height

• Add all dimensions together

• Use only the largest dimension

What is the volume of a prism with dimensions 8 inches by 11 inches by 7 inches?

• 616 cubic inches

• 88 cubic inches

• 154 cubic inches

• 56 cubic inches

For a prism with dimensions 4 inches, 6 inches, and 2 inches, what is the calculated volume?

• 48 cubic inches

• 12 cubic inches

• 24 cubic inches

• 6 cubic inches

What is the volume of a prism with dimensions 20 mm by 12 mm by 3 mm?

• 720 cubic millimeters

• 60 cubic millimeters

• 36 cubic millimeters

• 240 cubic millimeters

Which unit of measurement is not used in the examples provided for calculating volume?

• Cubic meters

• Cubic feet

• Cubic millimeters

• Cubic inches

If a rectangular prism's volume is calculated as 48 cubic inches, what could be its possible dimensions?

• 3 inches, 4 inches, 4 inches

• 8 inches, 6 inches, 1 inch

• 12 inches, 4 inches, 1 inch

• 4 inches, 6 inches, 2 inches
