Example Questions

Example Question #92 : Volume Of A Three Dimensional Figure

Can we determine the volume of this shape? 

Screen shot 2015 07 29 at 10.58.34 am

Possible Answers:

Yes because this shape is a perfect square

Yes because we know all the side lengths 

No because this shape is flat

No because this shape is open

Correct answer:

No because this shape is flat

Explanation:

Volume is only a characteristic of three-dimensional shapes. We can think of volume as space within an object or shape.  Because this is a flat shape, it does not have a volume.

Example Question #1561 : Common Core Math: Grade 5

Can we determine the volume of this shape? 

Screen shot 2015 07 29 at 11.08.14 am

Possible Answers:

No because this shape is flat

Yes because this is a three-dimensional shape

Yes because we are given the width 

No because we were not given the area

Correct answer:

Yes because this is a three-dimensional shape

Explanation:

Volume is a characteristic of three-dimensional shapes. This is a cube, which is a three-dimensional shape. We can think of volume as space within an object or shape, so the volume would be the amount of space inside this cube.
