Volume of Rectangular Prisms Objective: Learn to find the volume of a rectangular prism.
In a 3 dimensional figure… - a face is a flat surface. - the sides are called lateral faces. - The edges are the segments formed by the intersecting faces. - The edges intersect at the vertices. - 3D figures have length, width, and depth (or height).
Volume of a Rectangular Prism • The volume of a three dimensional figure is the measure of the space occupied by it. • It is measured in cubic units such as cubic centimeters (cm3) or cubic inches (in3 ). • The Volume of a Rectangular Prism • The volume V of a rectangular prism is the product of the length L, the width W and the height H. • Formula: V = l × w × h
Example 1: V = l × w × h V = 7cm × 4cm × 10cm V = 280 cm3
