Quarter 4 – Week 3 Module 3

Volume of Solid Figures

and Solving Routine and Non-
Routine Problems on Volume of
Rectangular Prism
Solid figures are 3-dimensional
objects with height, width
and depth. Because they have
three dimensions, they have depth
and take up space in our universe
.
 Did Norine and Karla get the
same number of units for the
volume of the box? Why?
Volume is the amount of space a solid
figure occupies. Nonstandard units can be
used to measure volume. Non-standard
units do not give the same measure of
volume for the same container. Balls,
marbles and pebbles are used as non-
standard units for measuring the volume
of the box.
When a non-standard unit used is
small, more units are needed to fill a
container. When the non-standard
unit used is bigger, fewer units are
needed to fill the container.
Non-standard units do not give
consistent and accurate
measurement of the volume of a
container.
If 1 cubic unit is equal to 1 cubic cm,
then the volume is 4 cubic cm or 4
cm³. A cubic centimeter (cm³) is a
standard unit for measuring volume. A
cubic meter (m³) is another one.
Standard units are consistent and
accurate. Count the number of
cubic units needed to fill the space
figure to find the volume of a space
figure.
Remember:
A volume is the amount of a space a
solid figure occupies.
When a non-standard unit used is small,
more units are needed to fill a container.
When the non-standard unit used is
bigger, fewer units are needed to fill the
container.
Non-standard units do not give
consistent and accurate
measurement of the volume of a
container while standard
units are consistent and accurate.
To find the volume of a space figure,
count the number of cubic units needed
to fill the space figure.
A cubic centimeter (cm³) is a standard
unit for measuring volume. A cubic
meter (m³) is another one.
A. Directions: Read and understand
the following statements. If the
statement is true write T and write F if
it is false.
_____1. Non-standard units give
consistent and accurate measure of
the volume of a container.
_____2. Volume is the amount of a
space a plane figure occupies.
_____3. When the non-standard unit
used is bigger, fewer units are
needed to fill the container.
_____4. Marbles, pebbles, balls are
non- standard units.
_____5. Non-standard units can be
used to measure volume.
B. Find the volume of each solid figure by
counting the cubes.
Use 1 cube = 1 cubic m.
