A box is 3 feet long, 4 feet wide, and 6 feet high. The volume of the box is ___________.
Explanation
Can we determine the volume of this shape?
Yes because this is a three-dimensional shape
No because we were not given the area
No because this shape is flat
Yes because we are given the length
Explanation
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.
Can we determine the volume of this shape?
Yes because this is a three-dimensional shape
Yes because we are given the width
No because this shape is flat
No because we were not given the area
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.
Can we determine the volume of this shape?
Yes because this is a three-dimensional shape
No because we were not given the area
No because this shape is flat
Yes because we are given the width
Explanation
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.
Can we determine the volume of this shape?
Yes because this is a three-dimensional shape
Yes because we are given the length
No because this shape is flat
No because we were not given the area
Explanation
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.
Can we determine the volume of this shape?
No because this shape is flat
No because this shape does not provide enough information to find the volume
Yes because this is a closed shape
Yes because we know each of the side lengths
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.
Can we determine the volume of this shape?
No because this shape is flat
No because the sides are not the same
Yes because the volume of a rectangle is always in cubic units
Yes because this is a closed shape
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.
Can we determine the volume of this shape?
No because this shape is flat
Yes because we know the area
Yes because we are given the volume formula
No because this shape has too many sides
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.
Can we determine the volume of this shape?
Yes because this is a three-dimensional shape
No because we were not given the area
No because this shape is flat
Yes because we are given the width
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.
Can we determine the volume of this shape?
No because this shape is flat
Yes because we are given the diameter
Yes because we are given the radius
No because this shape is round
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.
