Volume of 3D Shapes

3D shapes illustration

📐 Part 1: Understanding Volume

1. What is volume?

The distance around a shape

The amount of space inside a 3D shape

The flat surface area of a shape

The height of a shape

2. Which units are used to measure volume?

cm³

mm³

km

3. Match each 3D shape with its volume formula:

Cube: V = _________________

Rectangular prism: V = _________________

Cylinder: V = _________________

🔢 Part 2: Calculating Volume

4. Calculate the volume of a cube with side length 6 cm. Show your working.

Volume = ________ cm³

5. Find the volume of a rectangular prism: length = 8 m, width = 5 m, height = 3 m

Volume = ________ m³

6. Calculate the volume of a cylinder with radius = 4 cm and height = 10 cm. (Use π = 3.14)

Volume = ________ cm³

7. A storage box measures 50 cm × 30 cm × 20 cm. How much space is inside the box?

Volume = ________ cm³

🌟 Part 3: Problem Solving & Extension

8. A cylindrical water tank has a diameter of 2 metres and a height of 3 metres. Calculate its volume in cubic metres. (Remember: radius = diameter ÷ 2)

Volume = ________ m³

9. Extension: If you double all the dimensions of a cube, how does the volume change? Explain your reasoning.
10. Challenge: A composite shape is made from a rectangular prism (4m × 3m × 2m) with a cylindrical hole (radius 0.5m) drilled through its full height. Calculate the remaining volume.

Remaining volume = ________ m³
