Question at position 3
Use the square and cube pictures to complete each sentence.



The square has two measurements: length and width. The length of this square is Question Blank 1 of 9
8

and the width is Question Blank 2 of 9
8

. The space (area) of this square is Question Blank 3 of 9
4

square units.



The cube has three measurements: length, width, and height. The length of this cube is Question Blank 4 of 9
8

, the width is Question Blank 5 of 9
16

, and the height is Question Blank 6 of 9
16

. The space (volume) of this cube is Question Blank 7 of 9
64

cubic units.

The space of the square and the space of the cube are Question Blank 8 of 9

Answer 1

Here are the correct fills and a short explanation:

1) 8
2) 8
3) 64 (area = 8 × 8 = 64 square units)

4) 4
5) 4
6) 4
7) 64 (volume = 4 × 4 × 4 = 64 cubic units)

8) numerically the same (both are 64)
9) but the units are different (square units vs. cubic units)

Explanation: The square’s area is 64 square units and the cube’s volume is 64 cubic units. The numbers match, but they measure different kinds of space, so the units are not the same.
