Volume of rectangular prism  = length × width × height
V = l × w × h
V = (6 × 4) × 4
V = 24 × 4
V = 96

The volume of the rectangular prism is 96 cubic ft or 96 ft3.

If it can be stocked safely with 3 small fish in each cubic foot of water. Then 96/3 = 12

12 fish can be stocked safely with 3 small fish in each cubic foot of water.

Question 6.
Sophie built a house out of building blocks. Find the volume of the house Sophie built.

Answer:

Volume of A = length × width × height
V = l × w × h
V = (3 × 5) × 10
V = 15 × 10
V = 150

The volume of the rectangular prism is 150 cubic cm or 150 cm3.

Volume of B = length × width × height
V = l × w × h
V = (20 × 24) × 20
V = 480 × 20
V = 9600

The volume of the rectangular prism is 9600 cubic cm or 9600 cm3

Therefore, Combined volume is  150 cm3 + 9600 cm= 9750 cm3

Question 7.
How many cubic inches of concrete would it take to make these stairs?

Answer:

Volume of first stair = length × width × height
V = l × w × h
V = (40 × 10) × 7
V = 400 × 7
V = 2800

The volume of the first stair is 2800 cubic in or 2800 in3.

Volume of Second stair = length × width × height
V = l × w × h
V = (40 × 10) × 14
V = 400 × 14
V = 5600

The volume of the second stair is 5600 cubic in or 5600 in3

Volume of third stair = length × width × height
V = l × w × h
V = (40 × 10) × 21
V = 400 × 21
V = 8400

The volume of the rectangular prism is 8400 cubic in or 8400 in3

Therefore, Combined volume is  2800 in3 + 5600 in3 + 8400 in= 16800 in3

16800 cubic inches of concrete it takes to make these stairs

Problem Solving

Question 8.
A floor plan of Angelica’s bedroom and closet is shown at the right. The height of the bedroom is 9 feet. The height of the closet is 7 feet. What is the total volume of the bedroom and the closet?

Answer:

Volume of bedroom = length × width × height
V = l × w × h
V = (14 × 12) × 9
V = 168 × 9
V = 1512

The volume of the second stair is 1512 cubic ft or 1512 ft3

Volume of  closet = length × width × height
V = l × w × h
V = (3 × 4) × 7
V = 12 × 7
V = 84

The volume of the rectangular prism is 84 cubic ft or 84 ft3

Therefore, Combined volume is  1512 ft3 + 84 ft3  = 11596 ft3

Question 9.
Critique Reasoning Does it make sense for Angelica to find the combined area of the bedroom floor and closet floor before finding the total volume? Explain your thinking.
Answer:

Yes. the total volume is sum of the bedroom and closet of Angelica room

Question 10.
Higher Order Thinking An office building surrounds a rectangular open air courtyard. What is the volume of the building? How did you find the answer?

Answer:

Volume of building = length × width × height
V = l × w × h
V = (64 × 60) × 28
V = 3840 × 28
V = 107,520

The volume of the second stair is 107,520 cubic m or 107,520 m3

Volume of open air courtyard = length × width × height
V = l × w × h
V = (18 × 30) × 28
V = 540 × 28
V = 15120

The volume of the rectangular prism is 15120 cubic m or 15120 m3

Therefore, Total volume of building is  107,520 m3 – 15120 m3  = 92400 m3

Assessment Practice

Question 11.
Mrs. Bhatia’s closet consists of two sections, each shaped like a rectangular prism. She plans to buy mothballs to keep the moths away. She needs one box for every 32 cubic feet of space. How many boxes should she buy?
A. 6 boxes
B. 7 boxes
C. 8 boxes
D. 10 boxes

Answer:

Volume of first section = length × width × height
V = l × w × h
V = (5 × 4) × 8
V = 20 × 8
V = 160

The volume of the first section is 160 cubic ft or 160 ft3

Volume of open second section = length × width × height
V = l × w × h
V = (3 × 2) × 8
V = 6 × 8
V = 48

The volume of the second section is 48 cubic ft or 48 ft3

Therefore, the total volume of the building is  160 ft3 + 48 ft3  = 208 ft3

If she needs one box for every 32 cubic feet of space. Then Number of boxes = 208 / 32 = 6.5

She needs 6 or 7 boxes.

Essential Question How Can You Use Appropriate Tools question to Solve Volume Problems?

A.
Jeremiah needs to build a display of boxes that is 4 feet tall.
The boxes he uses are cubes that measure 1 foot on each edge. His display needs to look like a pyramid, with just one box in the top layer.
How many boxes will Jeremiah need to make his display?

What do I need to do?
I need to choose an appropriate tool to solve this problem.

Here’s my thinking…

B.
How can I use appropriate tools strategically to help me solve this problem?
I can
• decide which tool is appropriate.
• use cubes to solve this problem.
• use the tool correctly.

C.
I could use grid paper, but I will use cubes because building a display will make it easier to count the cubes.
Each cube represents 1 box in the display. My display will have 4 layers because it needs to be 4 feet tall, and each box is 1 foot high.
The display has 1 + 4 + 9 + 16 = 30 cubes.

So, Jeremiah needs 30 boxes in all to make his display.
