2. Volume is the amount of space inside a 3-D figure
Volume is the amount of space inside a 3-D figure. It is measured in cubic units.
We can begin by stacking the cubic units in the bottom of the prism
3units
This prism holds 9 cubic units in the bottom layer.
The volume of the given cube can be found by determining how many cubic units will fit inside the cube.
We can continue to stack these layers until the prism is full.

This prism holds 3 layers of 9 cubic units for a total of 27 cubic units
1 cubic unit
1unit
V = 27 cubic units

3. This formula works very well for rectangular prisms
3units
Another way to find the volume of the prism is to use the formula
V = lwh
where V is volume, l is length, w is width, and h is height h w l
V = lwh
V = (3)(3)(3)
V = 27 cubic units
This formula works very well for rectangular prisms

4. Find the volume of this rectangular prism
Since this is a rectangular prism we can use
V = lwh
we have:
V = (5)(4)(7)
V = 140 in3
7 in
Another way to think about this …
V = Area of the base shape × height.
4 in
5 in

5. Find the volume of this triangular prism
Since this is a triangular prism we can use the same idea …
V = Area of the base shape × height.
since the base is a triangle we could find the area of the triangle first using:
B = (1/2)bh
(where b & h are perpendicular)
B = (1/2)(3)(4)
B = (1/2)(12)
B = 6 cm2
BASE AREA
B = 6 cm2
5 cm
Now we use
V = Bh
where h is the distance between the bases.
V = (6 cm2)(9 cm)
V = 54 cm3
4 cm
9 cm
3 cm
