so in the instructions it says the best way to find the volume of this prism is to count the units

did you count how many units there are?

hello? are you still there?

did you count how many units there are?

okay no worries

so each cube is one unit

so if we count up all the cubes we can see that there are 24 cubes to the piece

do you know the formula for a rectangular prism?

hello?

okay no worries

the formula for a rectangular prism is

V = L *W *H

so we can see that the length of the figure is 3

the width of the figure is 2

and the height of the figure is 4

now we can plug it into the formula

V = 4 * 2 *3

can you solve that equation for me?

hello?

are you still there?
