Volume of the Right Prism

Determine the volume of a right rectangular prism with whole-number side lengths and fractional side lengths.

Solve real-world problems involving the volume of right rectangular prisms with whole-number side lengths and fractional side lengths.

6.GM.5

Find the volume of a right rectangular prism with fractional edge lengths using unit cubes of the appropriate unit fraction edge lengths (e.g., using technology or concrete materials), and show that the volume is the same as would be found by multiplying the edge lengths of the prism. Apply the formulas V = lwh and V = Bh to find volumes of right rectangular prisms with fractional edge lengths to solve real-world and other mathematical problems.

5.M.5

Apply the formulas V = l × w × h and V = B × h for right rectangular prisms to find volumes of right rectangular prisms with whole-number edge lengths to solve real-world problems and other mathematical problems.
