Volume is the amount of 3-dimensional space an object occupies. Volume is measured in cubic units.

For example, the rectangular prism below has a volume of 18 cubic units because it is made up of 18 unit cubic

Finding volume of a rectangular prism

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.
Volume of rectangular prism = length * width * height
Example

A rectangular prism made up of unit cubes. The front face of the rectangular prism shows 9 cubes: 3 rows and 3 columns. The top face of the cube shows 6 cubes: 2 rows and 3 columns. The right-hand side face shows 6 cubes: 3 rows and 2 columns. The length of the rectangular prism is 3 units. The width of the rectangular prism is 2 units. The height of the rectangular prism is 3 units.

Volume= length * width * height
=3*2*3
= 18 cubic unit

Another example
A rectangular prism with a length of 6 centimeters, a width of 5 centimeters, and a height of 7 centimeters.

Volume= length * width * height
=6*7*5
=210 cubic unit
