To find the volume of a rectangular prism , you use the formula:
Volume=length×width×height\text{Volume}=\text{length}\times \text{width}\times \text{height}Volume=length×width×height
Steps:
- Measure the length of the prism.
- Measure the width of the prism.
- Measure the height of the prism.
- Multiply these three measurements together.
Example:
If a rectangular prism has:
- Length = 5 cm
- Width = 3 cm
- Height = 4 cm
Then,
Volume=5×3×4=60 cubic centimeters\text{Volume}=5\times 3\times 4=60\text{ cubic centimeters}Volume=5×3×4=60 cubic centimeters
The volume tells you how much space is inside the prism.
