1. Consider the following questions: How many unit cubes are needed to fill a box that measures 3 5 7? How many squares are needed to cover that box? What about the volume and surface area of a box that measures 5 x 7 x 3? What is the volume and surface area of a box that measures 7 3 5? In general, how can you find the volume of a box if you know the width, depth, and height? How about its surface area? 2. A toy company makes rectangular sandboxes that measure 6 feet by 5 feet by 1.2 feet. A customer wants to buy a sandbox and 40 cubic feet of sand. Did the customer buy too much or too little sand? Justify your answer. 3. Find the height of a rectangular prism with a length of 3 meters, width of 1.5 meters, and a volume of 60.3 cubic meters. Draw and label the prism; then find the height. 4. The rectangular prism below has dimensions as shown. If the dimensions are doubled...what is the volume of the new prism? 4 in 7 in 4 in 1.
