Calculating Height from Volume
Grade 5th Grade · Math · 20 min· Use The Associative Property Of Multiplication To Find The Volume Of A Right Rectangular Prism With Whole Number Side Lengths And Relate It To Packing A Solid With Unit Cube Apply The Formula V = L × W × H, Where V Represents Volume And L, W, And H Represent The Three Dimensions Of The Right Rectangular Prism (length, Width, Height) And Relate The Formula To A Unit Cube Filled Model; Apply The Formula V = B × H, Where V Represents Volume, B Is The Base-area, And H Represents The Height (number Of Layers Of The Base Area) And Relate The Formula To A Unit Cube Filled Model; And] Calculate The Volume Of Solid Figures Composed Of Two Non-overlapping Right Rectangular Prisms By Decomposing The Figure And Adding The Volumes Of The Two Parts; Apply This Technique To Solve Real-world Problems.
