Estimating the Surface Area and Volume of a Rectangular Prism

​

volume
surface area
length = 4.58 ≈ 5
width = 6.22 ≈ 6
height = 3.41 ≈ 3
volume = length × width × height
volume ≈ 5 × 6 × 3 = 90
This Demonstration shows how to use rounding to estimate the volume and surface area of a rectangular prism.
