Select all statements that are true about the volume of three-dimensional figures.
Correct Answer
(1) Volume is measured in cubic units such as ft³, yd³, or cm³.
(2) The volume of a figure is the number of cubic units that fit within its boundaries.
(3) The formula V = Bh applies to prisms, where B is the area of the base.
Explanation
Three statements are true. Volume is measured in cubic units (ft³, yd³, cm³). Volume can be thought of as the number of cubic units fitting inside a figure's boundaries. The formula \(V = Bh\) applies to prisms.
The false statements: volume is not the same as area of the base (area is two-dimensional; volume is three-dimensional). A pyramid has volume \(\frac{1}{3}Bh\) — exactly one-third the volume of a prism with the same base and height.
