I. Introduction (Time Frame: Day 1)
In your previous lesson, you have learned to visualize the volume of a cube and a rectangular prism as well as
the use of formula during the application. In this lesson you were able to visualize the process of finding the
volume. and derive the formula in solving mathematical problems and real-life situations.
As a learner you are expected to:
a. Finds the volume of a cube and a rectangular prism using cu. cm and cu. m.
b. Estimates and uses appropriate units of measure for volume.

Let us have a review of the past lesson:

Look at the figure:
How many cubic centimeters are there in the first layer?
1. How many layers of cubic centimeters will it take to fill the box?
2. What is the total cubic centimeters are needed to fill the box?
3. Therefore, what is your understanding about the volume of the box?

Volume of a Rectangular Prism and a Cube

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
27 cm³ is read as “27 cubic centimeters”.

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.
Volume of rectangular prism= area of rectangle x height of the prism or simply,
V= l x w x h
V = 5 cm x 3 cm x 4 cm
V= 60 cm³

Read and study the problem below.

A storage box is 60 cm by 40 cm by 30 cm. What is the volume of the box?
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
 Learning Activities
Study the figure below and analyze the given unit of measure to find its volume.

The solid figure in numbers 1 and 2 are both rectangular prisms. The third figure is also a prism but since the
length, width and height are all the same, it has a special name. It is called a cube.
If the length, width and height are equal, we can substitute s for length, width and height and form a special
formula for finding the volume.

Estimating and Using Appropriate Units of Measure for Volume

Read and study the problem.
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)
1. water in a rectangular pool 4. a blackboard eraser
2. an ice before it melts 5. oil in a rectangular box
3. a dice
