What is the volume of the rectangular prism?

To find the volume of a rectangular prism, multiply the length, width and height. The unit for measuring the volume of a rectangular prism is cubic units i.e. cm3, mm3, in3, m3 etc.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume of a rectangular prism is given as:

Volume of a rectangular prism = (length x width x height) cubic units.

V = (l x w x h) cubic units

In a rectangular prism, the product of the length and the width is known as the base area. Therefore, the volume of a rectangular prism formula can also be represented as;

Volume of a rectangular prism = Base area x height

Let’s try the formula by working out a few example problems.

Example 1

The length, width and height of a rectangular prism is given as 15 cm, 10 cm and 5 cm respectively. What is the volume of the prism?

Solution

Given, length = 15 cm,

width = 10 cm,

height = 5 cm.

By the volume of a rectangular prism, we have

Volume = l x w x h

= (15 x 10 x 5) cm3

= 750 cm3.
