Finding Volume of Right Rectangular Prisms

What shape is the fish tank?

• Cube

• Right Rectangular Prism

• Sphere

• Cylinder

What is the depth of the fish tank?

• 5 feet

• 10 feet

• 8 feet

• 120 feet

How do we find the volume of a right rectangular prism?

• Length x Width x Height

• Length x Width

• Length + Width + Height

• Length / Width / Height

Why is it helpful to draw a diagram for this problem?

• To make the problem look easier

• Because the teacher said so

• To fill up space on the paper

• To better understand and solve the problem

What does the 'height' in the volume formula refer to in this context?

• The depth of the fish tank

• The length of the fish tank

• The width of the fish tank

• The area of the fish tank

What is the area of the top of the fish tank?

• 150 square feet

• 200 square feet

• 100 square feet

• 120 square feet

What formula represents the area of a rectangle?

• Width / Height

• Length x Width

• Length x Height

• Length + Width

What is the volume of the fish tank?

• 960 cubic feet

• 850 cubic feet

• 1020 cubic feet

• 1100 cubic feet

Why do we multiply the area of the top by the depth to find the volume?

• Because it's the standard procedure

• Because depth is irrelevant

• To make the calculation easier

• To convert area into volume
