5.GM.4
Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving the volume of rectangular prisms with whole number side lengths by applying the formulas (𝑉=𝑙∙𝑤∙ℎ or 𝑉=𝐵∙ℎ) and the properties of operations.
Example Problems
A hexagonal prism has a base area of 18 square units and a volume of 450 cubic units. What is the height of the prism?
A pentagonal prism has a base area of 11 square units and a volume of 330 cubic units. What is the height of the prism?
A pentagonal prism has a base area of 32 square units and a volume of 512 cubic units. What is the height of the prism?
