Volume of Cubes and Prisms

The document discusses visualizing the volume of a cube and rectangular prism. It explains that volume is measured in cubic units and can be visualized by using cubes to fill the space of an object like a rectangular prism or box. It then provides an example of a single cubic unit and asks how many cubic units are in a cube. Finally, it explains that to calculate the volume of a prism, we calculate the area of its base and multiply it by the height.

How many cubic units
are in this cube?
Volume – the amount of space
occupied by an object.
Volume – To calculate the
volume of a prism, we first need
to calculate the area of the BASE
of the prism.
Once we know the area of the base, this
is then multiplied by the height to
determine the VOLUME of the prism.
How can we visualize
the volume of cube
and rectangular
prism?
Volume is the amount space a solid figure occupies
.• We can visualize volume of cube and rectangular
prism
a.using more units to fill the container (like
the used of marbles, pebbles, rice grains, seed, etc)
this is what we called non-standard units. Non- standard
units do not give consistent and accurate measure of the
volume of a container.

b.Using standard units, to find the volume o a


space figure, count the number of cubic units
needed to fill the space. Standard units are
consistent and accurate.
