1 cm 3 cm 4 cm Visual Aid: 4 cm · 3 cm · 1cm = 12 cm3 length · width · height = volume area of base · height = volume
Examples: 4.1 ft 4.1 ft 12 ft V = Bh Use the formula. The bases are rectangles. The area of each rectangular base is 12 · 4.1 = 49.2 V = 49.2· 4.1 Substitute for B and h. Multiply. V = 201.72 The volume to the nearest tenth is 201.7 ft3.
