5.MG.2.e
Solve problems, including those in context, to estimate and determine the volume of a rectangular prism using concrete objects, diagrams, and formulas when the length, width, and height are given in whole number units. Record the solution with the appropriate unit of measure (e.g., 12 cubic inches).
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?
