Volume of Prisms Quick Check

1. What is the formula for finding the volume of a prism?

The formula for finding the volume of a prism is V = Bh, where B is the area of the base of the prism and h is the height of the prism.

2. What is the volume of a rectangular prism with a length of 6 cm, width of 4 cm, and height of 3 cm?

To find the volume of the rectangular prism, we first need to calculate the area of the base which is length x width = 6 cm x 4 cm = 24 cm². Then, we use the formula V = Bh and plug in the values: V = 24 cm² x 3 cm = 72 cm³. Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is 72 cm³.
