Example Questions
Example Question #91 : Volume Of A Three Dimensional Figure
Can we determine the volume of this shape?
Yes because we know each of the side lengths
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
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 #92 : Volume Of A Three Dimensional Figure
Can we determine the volume of this shape?
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
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 #93 : Volume Of A Three Dimensional Figure
Can we determine the volume of this shape?
Yes because this is a three-dimensional shape
No because we were not given the area
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 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.
