Volume of Rectangular and Triangular Prisms

Front

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

Back

V = B x h, where B is the area of the base and h is the height.

Front

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

Back

V = B x h, where B is the area of the triangular base and h is the height.

Front

What does the 'B' in the volume formula V = B x h stand for?

Back

Area of the base of the figure.

Front

How do you calculate the area of a rectangle?

Back

Area = length x width.

Front

How do you calculate the area of a triangle?

Back

Area = 1/2 x base x height.

Front

If the base of a triangular prism is 6 in² and the height is 10 in, what is the volume?

Back

V = 6 in² x 10 in = 60 in³.

Front

What is the volume of a rectangular prism with a base area of 32 in² and a height of 5 in?

Back

V = 32 in² x 5 in = 160 in³.

Front

What is the volume of a triangular prism with a base area of 12 in² and a height of 8 in?

Back

V = 12 in² x 8 in = 96 in³.

Front

If a rectangular prism has a volume of 240 cm³ and a base area of 60 cm², what is the height?

Back

Height = Volume / Base Area = 240 cm³ / 60 cm² = 4 cm.

Front

What is the volume of a prism if the base area is 20 yd² and the height is 11 yd?

Back

V = 20 yd² x 11 yd = 220 yd³.
