1. What is the formula for calculating the volume of a rectangular prism?
- The formula to calculate the volume of a rectangular prism is:
Volume = Length x Width x Height
2. If the length of a rectangular prism is 10 cm, the width is 4 cm, and the height is 6 cm, what is the volume of the prism?
- Volume = 10 cm x 4 cm x 6 cm
- Volume = 240 cubic centimeters
3. If the length of a rectangular prism is 5 inches, the width is 3 inches, and the height is 7 inches, what is the volume of the prism?
- Volume = 5 inches x 3 inches x 7 inches
- Volume = 105 cubic inches
4. If the length of a rectangular prism is 12 meters, the width is 8 meters, and the height is 2 meters, what is the volume of the prism?
- Volume = 12 meters x 8 meters x 2 meters
- Volume = 192 cubic meters
5. Why is it important to multiply the length, width, and height together when calculating the volume of a rectangular prism?
- Multiplying the length, width, and height together gives us the total amount of space inside the prism, known as the volume. This calculation is essential for determining how much of an object can fit inside the prism or how much material is needed to fill it.
