Volume of Cube and

Rectangular Prisms
VOLUME

VOLUME is the amount of


liquid or solid that will FILL a
3-Dimensional object!

*Always measured in units cubed (u3)


QUICK DEFINITION
• 3-Dimensional objects are NOT FLAT.
• They have 3 measurements:
– Length
– Width
– Height
• Volume – the amount of space occupied by
an object.

Example:
The VOLUME of
this cube is all the
s
space contained by
s the sides of the
s cube, measured in
cube units (units3).

RECTANGULAR PRISM
• A RECTANGULAR PRISM, is a solid figure that
has six faces that are all rectangles. Opposite

Cube
• A CUBE, is a solid figure that has six faces that
are all squares. All faces are congruent and
parallel. This shape is classified as a
rectangular prism because all squares are
technically rectangles
