Answer:

L x W x H

Explanation:

L= length

W= width

H= Height

Measure/find your L, W, and H.

Multiply your L, W, and H.

Example:

L=3

W=8

H=6

3 x 8 x 6

3 x 8 = 24

24 x 6 = 144

Rearranging to check answer:

6 x 8 x 3

6 x 8 = 48

48 x 3 = 144

Hope this answers your question.

-- Measure the length.
-- Measure the width.
-- Measure the height.

(Note: If someone told you what any of these is, then
you don't need to measure it.)

Now you have three numbers.

-- Multiply any two of them.
-- Multiply the product by the third one.

-- The last product is the volume of the rectangular prism.
