Answer:

L x W x H

Explanation:

L=Length

W=Width

H=Height

You find your L, W, and H. Multiply your L, W, and H.

Example:

L=Length

W=Width

H=Height

L=7

W=2

H=4

7 x 2 x 4

7 x 2 = 14

14 x 4 = 56

Rearranging to check my work:

7 x 4 x 2

7 x 4 = 28

28 x 2 = 56

I was right.

Hope this answers your question.

To find the volume of a rectangle prism, you will need to use the formula V= lenght * width * height. Make sure you state your answer in cubic units.
For example you have a rectangle prism with a lenght of 15m, width 8m, and a hieght of 12m.
V = l * w * h
V = 15 * 8 * 12
V= 120 * 12
V= 1,440
V= 1,440m^3

I hope this help.
