Comparing the Volume of Rectangular Prisms Worksheet Download
All four boxes on a problem are drawn at the SAME number of pixels per foot. Scaling each one to fill its own space would let the answer be read off the picture sizes without multiplying anything, and would show a 2 by 2 by 1 box the same size as a 4 by 3 by 1 one. The winner is also never the largest in every dimension, so it always gives up something and cannot be found by inspection - the volumes have to be worked out. Drawn with a new shared helper, functions_math/labeled_prism.function.
