Question 1easy

Find the volume of a rectangular prism with l=8l = 8, w=1w = 1, h=1h = 1.

Apply V=lwhV = l \cdot w \cdot h: 811=88 \cdot 1 \cdot 1 = 8.

Question 2easy

A rectangular box is 99 m long, 22 m wide, and 1010 m tall. Find its volume.

Volume =lwh=9210=180= l \cdot w \cdot h = 9 \cdot 2 \cdot 10 = 180 cubic m.

Question 3easy

A rectangular box is 44 m long, 1010 m wide, and 22 m tall. Find its volume.

Volume =lwh=4102=80= l \cdot w \cdot h = 4 \cdot 10 \cdot 2 = 80 cubic m.

Question 4easy

A rectangular box is 88 in long, 22 in wide, and 88 in tall. Find its volume.

Volume =lwh=828=128= l \cdot w \cdot h = 8 \cdot 2 \cdot 8 = 128 cubic in.

Question 5easy

Find the volume of a rectangular prism with l=9l = 9, w=1w = 1, h=2h = 2.

Apply V=lwhV = l \cdot w \cdot h: 912=189 \cdot 1 \cdot 2 = 18.

Question 6easy

A rectangular box is 77 m long, 55 m wide, and 11 m tall. Find its volume.

Volume =lwh=751=35= l \cdot w \cdot h = 7 \cdot 5 \cdot 1 = 35 cubic m.

Question 7easy

Find the volume of a rectangular prism with l=1l = 1, w=7w = 7, h=10h = 10.

Apply V=lwhV = l \cdot w \cdot h: 1710=701 \cdot 7 \cdot 10 = 70.

Question 8easy

Find the volume of a rectangular prism with l=4l = 4, w=7w = 7, h=1h = 1.

Apply V=lwhV = l \cdot w \cdot h: 471=284 \cdot 7 \cdot 1 = 28.
