How does this quiz work?
Read each question, choose one answer among A, B, C and D, then check it: a short explanation appears after every answer. Your score out of 10 is shown at the end, and you can restart the quiz as often as you like.
What should you review before the quiz?
Reread the key facts of the lesson and the worked example. If a question is hard, go back to the matching part of the lesson, then try the quiz again. Write your work on scrap paper: most mistakes come from skipping a step, not from the idea itself.
Remember:
A unit cube has a volume of 1 cubic unit.
Volume of a rectangular prism: \(V = l imes w imes h\) or \(V = B imes h\).
\(B\) is the area of the base, which tells how many cubes fit in one layer.
Volume is measured in cubic units such as cubic inches, cubic feet, and cubic centimeters.
To find the volume of a composite solid, add the volumes of its non-overlapping prisms.
