Calculating Volume of Rectangular Prisms
Name: _______________________________
Date: _______________________________
Remember: Volume = Length × Width × Height (V = l × w × h)
Volume is measured in cubic units (cm³, m³, etc.)
Part A: Calculate the Volume
1.
Length = 8 cm, Width = 5 cm, Height = 3 cm
Volume = ________________ cm³
2.
Length = 12 m, Width = 7 m, Height = 4 m
Volume = ________________ m³
3.
Length = 15 cm, Width = 10 cm, Height = 6 cm
Volume = ________________ cm³
4.
Length = 9 m, Width = 9 m, Height = 5 m
Volume = ________________ m³
