Show your work. Volume is measured in cubic units (cm³).
1.A triangular prism has a triangular end with base 8 cm and height 9 cm. The prism is 12 cm long. Find its volume.
Answer: 432 cm3
- Area of the triangle = ½ × 8 × 9 = 36 cm2
- V = area of end × length = 36 × 12
- = 432 cm3
2.A triangular prism has a triangular end with base 10 cm and height 5 cm. The prism is 15 cm long. Find its volume.
Answer: 375 cm3
- Area of the triangle = ½ × 10 × 5 = 25 cm2
- V = area of end × length = 25 × 15
- = 375 cm3
3.A triangular prism has a triangular end with base 20 cm and height 7 cm. The prism is 10 cm long. Find its volume.
Answer: 700 cm3
- Area of the triangle = ½ × 20 × 7 = 70 cm2
- V = area of end × length = 70 × 10
- = 700 cm3
4.A triangular prism has a triangular end with base 10 cm and height 5 cm. The prism is 8 cm long. Find its volume.
Answer: 200 cm3
- Area of the triangle = ½ × 10 × 5 = 25 cm2
- V = area of end × length = 25 × 8
- = 200 cm3
5.A triangular prism has a triangular end with base 22 cm and height 4 cm. The prism is 9 cm long. Find its volume.
Answer: 396 cm3
- Area of the triangle = ½ × 22 × 4 = 44 cm2
- V = area of end × length = 44 × 9
- = 396 cm3
6.A triangular prism has a triangular end with base 6 cm and height 5 cm. The prism is 14 cm long. Find its volume.
Answer: 210 cm3
- Area of the triangle = ½ × 6 × 5 = 15 cm2
- V = area of end × length = 15 × 14
- = 210 cm3
7.A triangular prism has a triangular end with base 12 cm and height 3 cm. The prism is 5 cm long. Find its volume.
Answer: 90 cm3
- Area of the triangle = ½ × 12 × 3 = 18 cm2
- V = area of end × length = 18 × 5
- = 90 cm3
8.A rectangular prism is 9 cm long, 2 cm wide and 6 cm high. Find its volume.
Answer: 108 cm3
- V = length × width × height = 9 × 2 × 6
- = 108 cm3
9.A rectangular prism has a volume of 224 cm3. Its base is 8 cm by 4 cm. Find its height.
Answer: 7 cm
- Base area = 8 × 4 = 32 cm2
- Height = 224 ÷ 32 = 7 cm
10.A rectangular prism is 2 cm long, 4 cm wide and 2 cm high. Find its volume.
Answer: 16 cm3
- V = length × width × height = 2 × 4 × 2
- = 16 cm3
Marking tips
- Give credit for correct method even when the final answer slips — the working shows where the thinking went right.
- For open-ended tasks, use the success criteria as a checklist rather than looking for one "right" answer.
- Celebrate what went well first, then pick one thing to work on next.
