II. Concept Notes/Digest/Background information/Illustrative Examples

A rectangular prism (also called a cuboid) is a box-shaped solid object. It is a
three-dimensional shape with six faces that are rectangles. It is described by its length,
width, and height. If the length, width and height are equal, then it is called a cube.

Rectangluar Prism Cube

Volume is the amount of space occupied by a three-dimensional figure

measured in cubic units. The formula for finding the volume of rectangular prism is:
V = L x W x H (where L is the length, W is the width and H is the height)

To find the volume of a cube, we use the formula:

V = S3 (where S is the length of the side of the cube)
Illustrative Examples:
1. Find the volume of the rectangular prism below.

2. Compute for the volume of the cube below.

Solution:
4 cm S = 4 cm V = S3
V = (4 cm)3
V = 64 cm3

3. A family swimming pool 500 cm long, 300 cm wide and 150 cm deep. How many
liters of water is needed to fill the pool? (Use this conversion: 1000 cm 3 = 1 L)

150 cm

300 cm
500 cm

Solution: V=LxWxH
L = 500 cm V = 500 cm x 300 cm x 150 cm
W = 300 cm V = 22,500,000 cm3
H = 150 cm since 1 L = 1000 cm3, so it follows that
V = 22,500 L

Therefore, we need 22,500 liters of water to fill the swimming pool.

III. Activities/Exercises
A. Find the volume of the following prisms. Show your solutions in your answer
notebook.

1. 2. 3.
10 10 mm

8 in
12 in

7 cm 4 mm
4 mm

B. Solve the following problems correctly. Show your solutions in your answer
notebook.
1. A carton of juice is 20 cm long, 16 cm wide and 10 cm tall. What is the
volume of the carton?
 2. Tony built a rectangular garden pond 5 dm deep, 8 dm long and 4 dm
wide. How many liters of water is needed to fill his pond? (Use this
conversion:
1 dm3 = 1 L)

C. Reflection question:
1. Can different shapes of prisms have the same volume? Explain your
answer.

IV. Answers Key

A. 1. 960 in3
2. 343 cm3
3. 160 mm3

B. 1. 3200 cm3
2. 160 L
C. Yes.
Possible explanations:
- As long as we do not remove or add any material to it, changing its
shape does not alter its volume.
- These two prisms are of different shapes but have the same volume.
