Math 7 B - Prisms quick check answers

Answer 1

1. A prism is a three-dimensional shape with flat sides and identical cross-sections, stacked one on top of the other.

2. The volume of a prism can be calculated by multiplying the area of the base by the height of the prism.

3. The formula for finding the volume of a rectangular prism is V = l x w x h, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height.

4. The formula for finding the volume of a triangular prism is V = 1/2 x b x h x l, where b is the base of the triangle, h is the height of the triangle, and l is the length of the prism.

5. To find the volume of a cylinder, you multiply the area of the base (πr^2) by the height (h). So, V = πr^2 x h.
