Investigate volume of right rectangular prisms by packing them with unit cubes without gaps or overlaps. Then, determine the total volume to solve problems.
Example Problems
The base of a rectangular prism has an area of 9 square feet. The height of the rectangular prism is 3 feet.
What is the volume, in cubic feet, of this rectangular prism?
What is the volume, in cubic feet, of this rectangular prism?
A rectangular-prism-shaped orchard bin is 2 ft by 2 ft by 2 ft. A truck is packed with 25 of these bins. There is no extra space in the truck. What is the volume of the truck?
The base of a rectangular prism has an area of 50 square yards. The height of the rectangular prism is 4 yards.
