IV. LEARNING PHASES/LEARNING ACTIVITIES
I. Introduction (Time Frame: Day 1-2)
In your previous lesson, you have learned on how to find the volume of a cube and a rectangular prism. In
this lesson you will demonstrate understanding in finding the volume and apply this knowledge in mathematical
problems and real-life situations. As a learner you are expected to:
a. Solve routine and non-routine problems involving volume of a cube and rectangular prism in real-life
situations using appropriate strategies and tools.
Let us have a review of your past lesson. Find the volume of the following:

Now let’s explore our new lesson!

A swimming pool has a length of 20 feet, a width of 12 feet and a height of 5 feet.
How much water is needed to fill the swimming pool?
How will you solve the problem?
You can solve the problem by following the steps below:

STEPS ANSWER
Understand
1. Know what is asked in the problem. -The amount of water needed to fill the swimming pool.
2. Know the given facts. l=20 feet w= 12 feet h= 5 feet
Plan
3. Determine the operation or formula to -Multiplication: V= l×w×h
use
Solve l=20 feet, w= 12 feet, h= 5 feet
4. Show the solution using the formula. since, Volume= length x width x height;
V= 20 ft x 12 ft x 5 ft
= 1200 ft3
Check and Look Back
- Check your answer.
- State your answer. - You need 1200 ft3 of water to fill the swimming pool.

Example No. 1
Find the volume of the rectangular prism with the length 8 cm, width 6 cm, and height 7 cm.

Solution:
We have discovered that the volume of a rectangular prism is the product of its length, width and height.
Substituting the given values to our formula, we have
 V=lxwxh
= 9 cm x 6 cm x 7 cm 10 cm height = ?
V = 378 cm³ 4 cm
Answer: The volume of the given prism is 378 cm³.

Example No. 2
The box on the upper right has a volume of 80 cm³. Find the height of the box.

Solution:

We discovered that in solving for the volume of a cube or rectangular prism, we will just multiply the
given measures for each dimension. It is given that the length is 10 cm, the width is 4 cm and the volume is
80 cm³. To solve for the height, we will substitute all the given values to the formula. So we have,
Volume = length x width x height
80 cm³ = 10 cm x 4 cm x height
80 cm3 ÷ 40 cm2 = height
2 cm = height
Answer: Therefore, the height of the box is 2 cm.

Example No. 3
A stockroom is 10 m long, 10 m wide and 10 m high. How many cubic meters of space is in the stockroom?

Solution:
Notice that the given dimensions were all equal to 10 m. This given the idea that we are solving for the
volume of a cube. We know that the volume of a cube is the cube of its side or s³. Substituting the given to our
formulated equation, we have
V= s³
V= (10 m)³ Substitute the given length of the side
V= 1 000 m³ Simplify.
Answer: There are 1 000 m³ of space in the stockroom.

Example No. 4
Find the measure of a side of a cube with volume 729 cm³.

Solution:
In the previous example, we figured out the volume of a cube is V= S3 or side x side x side.
Since it is given that the volume of a cube is 729 cm³ and we are looking for the measure of its
side s, we will use the formula in solving for the volume of a cube.
We have,
Volume of a cube = s x s x s, therefore the side of the cube if the volume is given will be s= 3√𝑽𝒐𝒍𝒖𝒎𝒆
or think of the number that if you multiply to itself thrice o three times will have the same number as the given
volume. 729 cm³ = s³
729 cm³ = 9 cm x 9 cm x 9cm
s =9 cm
Answer: Therefore, the measure of a side of a cube is 9 cm.
