Exploring Volume of Prisms and Cylinders

What is the common misconception about calculating the volume of prisms?

• Using length times width only

• Using the height only

• Using the area of the base only

• Using length times width times height for all prisms

What does 'B' stand for in the volume formula for prisms?

• The breadth of the prism

• The base area of the prism

• The total surface area of the prism

• The perimeter of the base

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

• Volume = Length x Width x Height

• Volume = Base Area x Height

• Volume = Base Area + Height

• Volume = Base Perimeter x Height

In the context of prisms, what does 'H' typically represent?

• The hypotenuse of the base

• The height of the base itself

• The horizontal length

• The height or the distance between the bases

How do you calculate the volume of a triangular prism?

• Base Area of the triangle x Height of the prism

• Base Perimeter x Height

• Length x Width x Height

• Base Area x Width x Height

What is the area of the base in a trapezoid prism if the bases are 10 and 6 units, and the height of the trapezoid is 5 units?

• 60 square units

• 40 square units

• 50 square units

• 30 square units

What is the volume of a trapezoid prism with a base area of 40 square units and a height of 15 units?

• 600 cubic units

• 700 cubic units

• 550 cubic units

• 650 cubic units

How is the base area of a cylinder calculated?

• Pi x Radius x Radius

• Pi x Radius x Height

• Pi x Diameter x Diameter

• Radius x Radius x Height

What is the volume of a cylinder with a radius of 3 units and a height of 7 units?

• 63 Pi cubic units

• 21 Pi cubic units

• 42 Pi cubic units

• 84 Pi cubic units

What does the height in the volume formula of a cylinder refer to?

• The height of the circular base

• The distance between the circular bases

• The diameter of the circular base

• The circumference of the circular base
