1. Volume of Prisms

2. Volume The amount of cubic units a 3D figure contains
Measured in cubic units
Ex: cm3, yd3, in3, ft3

3. General method for finding volume of a prism
Area of the base • height of prism

4. Example 1 Shape: __________________
Shape of the base: _________________

6. Shortcut for Cubes and Rectangular Prisms
Volume = length * width * height
Example 1: 5 * 5 * 5 = 125 ft3
Example 2: 4 * 3 * 10 = 120 ft3
