Answer:

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.

\text{Volume of rectangular prism}=Volume of rectangular prism=start text, V, o, l, u, m, e, space, o, f, space, r, e, c, t, a, n, g, u, l, a, r, space, p, r, i, s, m, end text, equals \text{length}\times\text{width}\times\text{height}length×width×heightstart text, l, e, n, g, t, h, end text, times, start text, w, i, d, t, h, end text, times, start text, h, e, i, g, h, t, end text

Want to learn more about finding volume of rectangular prisms?

Volume=length×width×heightstart text, V, o, l, u, m, e, end text, equals, start text, l, e, n, g, t, h, end text, times, start text, w, i, d, t, h, end text, times, start text, h, e, i, g, h, t, end text

\phantom{\text{Volume}}=3\times2\times3Volume=3×2×3empty space, equals, 3, times, 2, times, 3

\phantom{\text{Volume}}=18\text{ cubic units}Volume=18 cubic units

If the height of a rectangular prism is not given, divide the prism's volume by it's width and also divide it by it's length in order to find the height of the prism. For example:

Volume=30

Length=5

Width=3

Height=?

30/5=6, 6/3=2 so 2 equals your height.

Hope that helps.
