Answer:

240 cubic meters

Explanation:

A rectangular prism is a 3d shape that is essentially a box. The volume (how much space inside) is given by:

V = length×width×height

So we can fill in and calculate.

V = 6 × 5 × 8

(this is all multiplication, so the order doesn't matter 5×6×8 or 6×5×8 or 5×8×6 or 8×5×6)

Volume = 240

The volume is 240 cubic meters.
