Example Questions
Example Question #51 : Measurement & Data
Can we determine the volume of this shape?
No because this shape only has three sides
No because this shape is flat
Yes because we are given all of the side lengths
Yes because this is a closed shape
No because this shape is flat
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 #52 : Measurement & Data
Can we determine the volume of this shape?
No because this shape has too many sides
Yes because we are given the volume formula
Yes because we know the area
No because this shape is flat
No because this shape is flat
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 #53 : Measurement & Data
Can we determine the volume of this shape?
Yes because the volume of a rectangle is always in cubic units
Yes because this is a closed shape
No because the sides are not the same
No because this shape is flat
No because this shape is flat
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 #1 : Recognize Volume As An Attribute: Ccss.Math.Content.5.Md.C.3
Can we determine the volume of this shape?
No because we were not given the area
Yes because this is a three-dimensional shape
Yes because we are given the width
No because this shape is flat
Yes because this is a three-dimensional shape
Volume is a characteristic of three-dimensional shapes. This is a cylinder, 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 cylinder.
Example Question #1 : Recognize Volume As An Attribute: Ccss.Math.Content.5.Md.C.3
Can we determine the volume of this shape?
No because we were not given the area
No because this shape is flat
Yes because this is a three-dimensional shape
Yes because we are given the length
Yes because this is a three-dimensional shape
Volume is a characteristic of three-dimensional shapes. This is a rectangular prism, 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 rectangular prism.
Example Question #3 : Recognize Volume As An Attribute: Ccss.Math.Content.5.Md.C.3
Can we determine the volume of this shape?
No because this shape is flat
Yes because we are given the length
Yes because this is a three-dimensional shape
No because we were not given the area
Yes because this is a three-dimensional shape
Volume is a characteristic of three-dimensional shapes. This is a rectangular prism, 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 rectangular prism.
Example Question #4 : Recognize Volume As An Attribute: Ccss.Math.Content.5.Md.C.3
Can we determine the volume of this shape?
No because we were not given the area
Yes because this is a three-dimensional shape
No because this shape is flat
Yes because we are given the width
Yes because this is a three-dimensional shape
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.
Example Question #5 : Recognize Volume As An Attribute: Ccss.Math.Content.5.Md.C.3
Can we determine the volume of this shape?
No because this shape is flat
No because this shape is round
Yes because we are given the diameter
Yes because we are given the radius
No because this shape is flat
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 #3 : Recognize Volume As An Attribute: Ccss.Math.Content.5.Md.C.3

Example Question #11 : Recognize Volume As An Attribute: Ccss.Math.Content.5.Md.C.3
Can we determine the volume of this shape?
Yes because this is a closed shape
No because this shape is flat
No because this shape does not provide enough information to find the volume
Yes because we know each of the side lengths
No because this shape is flat
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.
