Find the missing side for the shape.
Length- 12
Width- 4
Height-
Volume: 336 cubic units
7 cubic units
Double! How do you find the height if the volume, length, and width are given to you.
Divide the volume by the product of length x width OR multiply length x width and then guess-multiply for the height until you get the volume
Volume is measured in
A. Lines
B. Squares
C. Cubic units
C
In words, explain how to find the volume for a composite figure.
First, find the volume of each rectangular prism. Then, add the volumes together.
I made a tower in the shape of a rectangular prism out of blocks. The length was 8 in, width was 2 in, and height was 4 in. What was the volume of the figure?
8x2x4 = 64 cubic inches
Find the missing side
Length: 5
Width:
Height: 9
Volume: 270 cubic units
6 cubic units
Volume = 4 cubic inches, length = 2 inches, width = 2 inches, height = ?
Height = 1 inch
The formula for volume of a rectangular prism is:
volume = length x width x height
A figure is made out of sugar cubes. If the figure is made of 6 rows, with 5 sugar cubes in each row, how many sugar cubes are there altogether?
6x5=30 sugar cubes
I have a figure with a length of 4 cubic inches, width of 6 cubic inches and a volume of 72 cubic inches. What is the height?
3 cubic inches
Find the missing side.
Length:
Width: 9
Height: 3
Volume: 243 cubic units
9 cubic units
Volume = 12 cubic feet,
width = 2 feet,
height = 2 feet,
length = ?
length = 3 feet
Centimeters x centimeters x centimeters = ?
cubic centimeters, or centimeters cubed
I made this figure out of blocks. The length was 4, the width was 8 and the height was half of the length. What is the volume?
64 cubic units
A box is 9 inches by 11 inches by 8 inches. What is the volume of the box?
792 cubic inches
Find the missing side.
Length: 8
Width: 6
Height:
Volume: 192 cubic units
4 cubic units
Volume = 56 cubic feet,
length = 7 feet,
width = 2 feet,
height = ?
height = 4 feet
True or False. You can find the volume of a composite figure by using length x width x height
False. You would have to count the cubes, or add up the volumes of the different figures.
I have a shape with a volume of 108 cubic inches. The length and width are the same and the height is half of the length/width. What is the length, width, and height of the shape?
Length: 6
Width: 6
Height: 3
Shape A: length= 5 width= 3 height= 7
Shape B: length= 4 width=2 height= 8
What is the volume of the composite figure
169 cubic units
Find the missing sides when you know the length and width are the same:
Length:
Width:
Height: 6
Volume: 294 cubic units
Width: 7
Double!!
Volume = 300 cubic cm,
length = 10 cm,
width = 6 cm,
height = ?
height = 5 cm
