📏 Part 2: Volume and Surface Area Calculations

5. A rectangular prism has dimensions: length = 8 cm, width = 5 cm, height = 3 cm. Calculate the volume.

Volume = _______ cm³

6. For the same rectangular prism above, calculate the surface area. Show your working.

Surface Area = _______ cm²

7. A cylinder has a radius of 4 cm and height of 10 cm. Calculate its volume using V = πr²h. (Use π = 3.14)

Volume = _______ cm³

🎯 Part 3: Construction Planning & Reflection

8. You are planning to construct a triangular prism using cardboard. List three steps you would follow:

Step 1: _________________________________________________
