height VOLUME length width • Volume of a rectangular prism = length x width x height Volume is the amount of space inside a three-dimensional (3-D) shape. It is measured in cubic units, such as cubic feet.
h V l w • This formula also can be written like this: V = lxwxh Volume is the amount of space inside a three-dimensional (3-D) shape. It is measured in cubic units, such as cubic feet.
2 ft 5 ft 4 ft Example: What is the volume of a rectangular prism if l = 5 feet (ft), w = 4 ft, and h = 2 ft? Volume is the amount of space inside a three-dimensional (3-D) shape. It is measured in cubic units, such as cubic feet. V • Multiply: 5 x 4 x 2 = 40 • The volume is 40 cubic ft.
