Question

Describe in words the relationship between the length, width and height of a cuboid and its volume. ​

Answer 1

Volume = length * width * height

Each asterisk * refers to the multiplication symbol

The volume of the cube is equal to the length times width times height

---------------------

Example:

Consider a cube that has length, width and height each equal to 4 cm

Volume = length * width * height

Volume = (4 cm) * (4 cm) * (4 cm)

Volume = (4*4*4) cubic cm

Volume = 64 cubic cm

----------------------

Another example:

We have a rectangular prism that has the following dimensions

length = 4 ft

width = 3 ft

height = 5 ft

Computing the volume gets us:

Volume = length * width * height

Volume = (4 ft) * (3 ft) * (5 ft)

Volume = (4*3*5) cubic ft

Volume = 60 cubic ft
