Volume of Rectangular PrismVolume = length × width × height
OR
Volume = base × height
[where base is the area of the base]
To find the volume, multiply the dimensions of the prism.
Volume | = | length × width × height |
| = | 8 feet × 3 feet × 6 feet |
| = | 144 cubic feet |
The volume of a rectangular prism is equal to the product of its dimensions.
So, any three values with a product of 36 cubic feet could be the dimensions of the prism.
Here are some possible dimensions of the prism.
2 feet × 2 feet × 9 feet | = | 36 cubic feet |
3 feet × 3 feet × 4 feet | = | 36 cubic feet |
2 feet × 3 feet × 6 feet | = | 36 cubic feet |
1 foot × 4 feet × 9 feet | = | 36 cubic feet |
1 foot × 3 feet × 12 feet | = | 36 cubic feet |
