Description

A rectangular prism with dimensions labeled: length = 30, width = 10, and height = 8. The image shows how to find the volume of the prism using the formula for volume of a rectangular prism. This image illustrates Example 1: The caption explains how to calculate the volume of the rectangular prism using the formula V = l * w * h. The given dimensions are substituted into the formula: V = 30 * 10 * 8 = 2400..

Volume is a fundamental concept in geometry that helps students understand the space occupied by three-dimensional objects. In this collection, each example uses various geometric shapes to calculate volume, showcasing real-life applications of volume in different shapes.

Seeing multiple worked-out examples allows students to observe different approaches and nuances in calculations, which reinforces their understanding of volume across shapes.

Teacher's Script: Observe this example carefully. Notice the steps taken to find the volume of this particular shape. Can you see how each dimension--length, width, and height--plays a role in determining the overall volume? How might you apply this to other shapes?
