Exercises: Introduction to Volume
Work through each section in order. Every volume answer should be reported in "cubic units."
Warm-Up: Review What You Know
These problems review skills you have already learned.
A rectangle is tiled with unit squares in 4 rows of 3, with no gaps or overlaps. Enter just the number of unit squares that cover it.
Which of these is a solid (three-dimensional) figure, not a flat (two-dimensional) shape?
a triangle drawn on paper
a cube
a circle traced on the sidewalk
a rectangle drawn on a whiteboard
What is 4 × 3?
Fluency Practice
A cube has a side length of 1 unit. What is its volume?
1 square unit
1 cubic unit
3 cubic units
1 unit
This figure is built from unit cubes with no gaps or overlaps: 5 cubes long, 1 cube wide, and 1 cube tall. Enter just the number of unit cubes.
This figure is packed with unit cubes, no gaps or overlaps: a single flat layer, 4 cubes long and 3 cubes wide. Enter just the number of unit cubes.
This figure is packed with unit cubes, no gaps or overlaps: 3 cubes long, 3 cubes wide, and 2 cubes tall (two identical layers, stacked). Enter just the number of unit cubes.
This figure is packed with unit cubes, no gaps or overlaps: 4 cubes long, 2 cubes wide, and 3 cubes tall. Its volume is ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ (write the number, then the unit).
