How would you find the height of the prism going left and right? 


Subtract 8 from 12. The length is 4 cubic units

200

What is the volume of this tank? 

V = 840 cubic inches 

V = 7 x 12 x 10 

V = 84 x 10 

V = 840 

300

A _________ is a unit for measuring volume

Cubic Unit

300

Volume should not have _____ or overlaps

Gaps / Spaces

300
What formula is for when you multiply the 3 dimensions? 

V = l x w x h

Volume = length x width x height 

300

How would you find the length of the prism going up and down? 


Subtract 6 from 14. It's 8 cubic units long

300

The length of a box is 9 inches, the height of a box is 9 inches, and the width of a box is 10 inches. What is the volume of the box? 

V = 180 cubic inches 

V = 9 x 10 x 9 

V = 81 x 10 

V = 180 


400

Formula

400

One way to determine the volume of a 3-d figure is to pack it with unit cubes or to ________

Count the unit cubes

400

Which formula needs to be used to solve for the volume?


v = l x w x h

400

What is the volume of the prism going left and right? 


160 cubic units

Length = 8 cubic units. Width = 5 cubic unit. Height = 4 cubic units. 

400

The volume of the block is 512 cubic centimeters. What is the height of this block? 

The height is 8 inches

V = B x h 

512 = 64 x h 

512 / (divided by) 64 is 8 

500
