The volume of a rectangular prism is determined by the formula . To find the volume is to find how much space the object takes up in 3D. The formula is used to find the area of the base ( ), or the space taken on a 2D plane and multiplied by the height to give it 3 Dimensions.
Breakdown of :
is length
is width
is height
Find the Volume:
Use the formula and plug in values into the formula.
V = l * w * h
V = 4 * 17 * 11
748
Th units of length are m, and volume is the units cubed, so the units are m³.
