This object has 
Remember, volume is always labeled as units to the third power.
Example Question #22 : How To Find The Volume Of A Prism
What is the volume of the object below?
This object has 
Remember, volume is always labeled as units to the third power.
Example Question #52 : Measurement & Data
Can we determine the volume of this shape?
No because this shape has too many sides
No because this shape is flat
Yes because we are given the volume formula
Yes because we know the area
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?
No because this shape is flat
Yes because this is a closed shape
Yes because the volume of a rectangle is always in cubic units
No because the sides are not the same
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 #81 : Volume Of A Three Dimensional Figure
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 #55 : Measurement & Data
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 length
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 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 #56 : Measurement & Data
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 length
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 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 #57 : Measurement & Data
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 #58 : Measurement & Data
Can we determine the volume of this shape?
No because this shape is round
Yes because we are given the radius
Yes because we are given the diameter
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 #82 : Volume Of A Three Dimensional Figure
Can we determine the volume of this shape?
No because this shape is flat
Yes because this is a three-dimensional shape
No because we were not given the area
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 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.
