A. Introduction A. Review
Volume (V) is the number of cubic units needed to fill the spatial figure. It is the
amount that will occupy space of the figure. Volume is three-dimensional (3D)
process of measuring the spatial figure. It is composed of
the area of the base (length x width) times the height or V= lwh. That is why every
answer is in cubic units (in3, cm3, m3, etc.)
A cube is an example of a spatial figure that has three dimensions. Since all the
faces of the cube are perfect squares, the length, the width, and the height are
equal. The sides of the square are also called edges of the cube and s is the symbol
used. Thus, the formula to find the volume of the cube is s x s x s or s3.
S= 3 cm
V= 3 cm x 3 cm x 3 cm = 27 cm3
We know that for a rectangular prism, the base is always a rectangle. Therefore,
the area of the base is always the product of length and width. To get the volume,
we just multiply the area by the height.
V= l x w x h
V = 5 cm x 3 cm x 4 cm
V= 60 cm3
The volume of a rectangular prism is equal to the product of its length, width, and
height.
V= l x w x h
= 60 cm x 40 cm x 30 cm
= 72 000 cm3
Elijah has a rectangular box with sand inside it. He wants to know the capacity of
the box, what shall he do? What unit of measure will he use?
The unit of measurement your will use depends on the size of the object you will
measure. For tiny objects, it is better to use mm3, for small ones we use cm3 or
dm3, and for big objects, we use m3.
Write the best unit of measure to find the volume of the following: (mm3, cm3,
dm3, m3)

D. Assimilation Find three objects in your house that are rectangular prisms or cubes. Measure
their length, width and height using the most appropriate unit then compute for
their volume. Write your solutions in your notebook together with the drawing of
the objects.
