LOG PROBLEM

What is the total surface area of a rectangular cube where one side has a length of 2 cm, another side has a length of 3 cm, and another side has a length of 4 cm? Try to draw it.

WORK TODAY

Volume Project:
1. Assemble a rectangular cube.
2. Measure the length, width, and height of the cube.
3. Use the formula for volume to calculate the amount of cubic centimeters in your cube. (Volume = length x width x height)
4. Disassemble your cube and check your formula answer by counting the number of cubes.

HOMEWORK

Calculate the volume of the cubes with the following dimensions:
1) w= 4 in, h = 6in, l = 3 in
2) w= 14 in, h = 26in, l = 33 in
3) w= 3.2 in, h = 7.4in, l = 8.3 in
4) w= 4 and 1/2 in, h = 6 and 1/4in, l = 3 and 1/3 in
