To find the volume of a rectangular prism, we multiply the length of the prism by the width of the prism by the height of the prism.

Knowing how to calculate the volume of a rectangular prism is a fundamental skill in geometry. To determine the volume, you need three measurements: the length, width, and height of the prism.
Remember, the length is the longest side of the base, the width is the shorter side of the base, and the height is the perpendicular distance from the base to the top of the prism.
The formula for the volume of a rectangular prism is \(V=l\cdot w\cdot h\), where \(V=\) volume, \(l=\) length, \(w=\) width, and \(h=\) height.
