What is the volume of a rectangular prism?
- A.
1/2 base x height
- B.
Length x base x height
- C.
Length x width
Correct Answer
B. Length x base x heightExplanation
The volume of a rectangular prism is calculated by multiplying its length, width, and height together. This formula is used because it represents the amount of space that the prism occupies in three dimensions. The option "Length x base x height" correctly represents this formula and provides the accurate calculation for finding the volume of a rectangular prism.Rate this question:

What is the formula for the area of a trapazoid?
- A.
1/2 height ( b1+b2)
- B.
Base x height
- C.
Base x length
Correct Answer
A. 1/2 height ( b1+b2)Explanation
The formula for the area of a trapezoid is 1/2 times the height of the trapezoid multiplied by the sum of its two bases. This formula takes into account the fact that a trapezoid has two parallel bases of different lengths. By multiplying the sum of the bases with the height and then dividing it by 2, we can find the area of the trapezoid.Rate this question:

What is the formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism?
- A.
3x lbh
- B.
Base x height
- C.
2lw +2wh + 2lh
Correct Answer
C. 2lw +2wh + 2lhExplanation
The formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism is 2lw + 2wh + 2lh. This formula represents the sum of the areas of all six faces of the rectangular prism. The first term, 2lw, represents the areas of the two opposite faces with length l and width w. The second term, 2wh, represents the areas of the two opposite faces with width w and height h. And the third term, 2lh, represents the areas of the two opposite faces with length l and height h. By adding these three terms together, we get the total surface area of the rectangular prism.Rate this question:

What is the volume for a triangular prism?
- A.
1/2 x base x height x length
- B.
1 x base x height
- C.
2 x base x length
Correct Answer
A. 1/2 x base x height x lengthExplanation
The correct answer is 1/2 x base x height x length. The volume of a triangular prism is calculated by multiplying the base area (which is 1/2 x base x height) by the length of the prism. This formula takes into account the triangular shape of the base and calculates the volume accordingly.Rate this question:

What is the formula for the surface area of cylinders?
- A.
A x b x c
- B.
2 x length x width
- C.
2π r h + 2π r²
Correct Answer
C. 2π r h + 2π r²Explanation
The formula for the surface area of a cylinder is 2πrh + 2πr². This formula includes the two circular bases of the cylinder, which have an area of 2πr², and the lateral surface area, which is the curved surface area of the cylinder, given by 2πrh.Rate this question:

What is the formula for the volume of cylinders?
- A.
L x h
- B.
πr2h
- C.
B x h x l
Correct Answer
B. πr2hExplanation
The formula for the volume of a cylinder is given by multiplying the area of the base (πr^2) by the height (h). This formula accounts for the fact that the base of a cylinder is a circle with radius r, and the height represents the distance between the two circular bases. The correct answer, πr^2h, reflects this relationship and is the formula commonly used to calculate the volume of cylinders.Rate this question:
