Volume is the amount of space occupied by an object. It is measured in cubic units.

4. How to find Volume using Math Chart: Area of a rectangle= l x w4
units
V= Bh h
B= area of base
Area of a rectangle= l x w
h= height of prism
4 units
V=Bh w
V= (l x w)h
5 units
V= (5 x 4)4 l
V= 5 x 4 x 4
units x units x units
V= 80 units3
