The area of the rectangular prism above is derived as


\text{Area}=2(\lbrack width* length\rbrack+\lbrack height* length\rbrack+\lbrack height* width\rbrack)

The volume of the rectangular prism is derived as


\text{Vol}=length* width* height

The area is denoted as "squared." For example, if the area is 10, then you write it out as "10 feet squared," OR "10 square feet."

The volume is written out as cubed, or cubic units

For example if the volume is now 10, your answer would be written out as "10 cubic feet."
