(3-2) Rectangular Prism Volume.

A prism has 3-dimensions (6 faces). It has a length, width and height. The

height of the prism will indicate how many layers of cubes are in the prism.

Look at the following example of a rectangular prism:

Find its volume.

Step 1:

2 V= 24 cm 3

Length (L)= 4 cm

3 Width (W)= 3 cm

4 Height (H)= 2 cm
