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
