1. Click on the button to see a tutorial on how to find the volume of a rectangular prism. Click on the button to test your skills on finding volume.

3. What is a rectangular prism? Look around the room to see if you recognize any rectangular prisms.

4. Why am I learning this? If you can find the volume of a rectangular prism, soon you’ll be ready for these... This is the easy one!

5. Area vs. Volume Volume is the amount of space inside a prism. It is measured using cubic units. Remember, area is the space inside a flat figure. It is measured using square units.

6. Finding The Volume of a Rectangular Prism V olume of a prism = Area of one B ase  h eight V = B h height Area of the Base

7. Watch: V = B h V = 10 h V = 10 5 V = 50

8. The Units... Remember 3  3 = What is cm  cm ? = cm 2 And cm  cm  cm ? = cm 3 cm 3232

9. What about the units? V = B h V = 5 in. 2 in. h V = 10 in. 2 5 in. V = 50 in. 3
