1. QuestionMultiple choice

A rectangular prism has dimensions 2, 3, and 4. If every dimension is doubled, by what factor does volume change?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 88.

  1. Identify the solid and measurements: Choose the appropriate dimensions, base area, radius, height, or edge length.
  2. Apply the volume or surface-area formula: Volume scales by the cube of the linear factor: 23=82^3=8.
  3. Check units and reasonableness: Use cubic units for volume, square units for surface area, and check that the result matches the scale of the solid.

Volume scales by the cube of the linear factor: 23=82^3=8.

2. QuestionMultiple choice

A cube has side length 3. Another cube has side length 6. How many times greater is the second volume?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 88 times.

  1. Identify the solid and measurements: Choose the appropriate dimensions, base area, radius, height, or edge length.
  2. Apply the volume or surface-area formula: The side factor is 2, so volume changes by 23=82^3=8.
  3. Check units and reasonableness: Use cubic units for volume, square units for surface area, and check that the result matches the scale of the solid.

The side factor is 2, so volume changes by 23=82^3=8.

3. QuestionMultiple choice

A cylinder keeps the same height while its radius doubles. By what factor does its volume change?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is 44.

  1. Identify the solid and measurements: Choose the appropriate dimensions, base area, radius, height, or edge length.
  2. Apply the volume or surface-area formula: Cylinder volume depends on r2r^2, so doubling r multiplies volume by 4.
  3. Check units and reasonableness: Use cubic units for volume, square units for surface area, and check that the result matches the scale of the solid.

Cylinder volume depends on r2r^2, so doubling r multiplies volume by 4.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

A prism has base area 25 square units and height 12 units. What is its volume?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is 300300 cubic units.

  1. Identify the solid and measurements: Choose the appropriate dimensions, base area, radius, height, or edge length.
  2. Apply the volume or surface-area formula: Use V=Bh=25(12)=300V=Bh=25(12)=300 cubic units.
  3. Check units and reasonableness: Use cubic units for volume, square units for surface area, and check that the result matches the scale of the solid.

Use V=Bh=25(12)=300V=Bh=25(12)=300 cubic units.

5. QuestionMultiple choice

A prism has volume 144 cubic units and base area 12 square units. What is its height?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 1212 units.

  1. Identify the solid and measurements: Choose the appropriate dimensions, base area, radius, height, or edge length.
  2. Apply the volume or surface-area formula: Solve 144=12h144=12h, giving h=12h=12.
  3. Check units and reasonableness: Use cubic units for volume, square units for surface area, and check that the result matches the scale of the solid.

Solve 144=12h144=12h, giving h=12h=12.

6. QuestionMultiple choice
