Rectangular Prism A solid (3-dimensional) object which has six faces that are rectangles. Volume = Length × Width × Height Which is usually shortened to: V = l × w × h Or more simply: V = lwh ** Volume is answered in units³ Example: Find the volume of this rectangular prism
Example V = lwh =10×5×4 =200m³ m m m
Volume of a rectangular prism If a formula has Bh the capitalized B stands for the AREA OF THE BASE. VOLUME USES UNITS CUBED. Example: find the area of the shape using the formula A=Bh A = Bh A = (4x3) x 5 A= 12 x 5 A= 60 cm³
