Volume of rectangular prism

-->Let me first introduce you the topic which i have chosen today, it is called Volume of a rectangular prism. Lets discuss on how to calculate volume of a rectangular prism.

Do you know what is a rectangular prism? We have discussed on what is a rectangle but now let me give you an introduction to rectangular prism before i go ahead with volume of rectangular prism.

-->
Rectangular Prism:- It is the three dimension geometrical figure. It has three dimensional length, width and height. To find the volume of a rectangular prism you need to know its length, width and height. Look at the figure shown above. Below we have the formula to find the volume of a rectangular prism with an example.

The formula to find the volume of a rectangular prism is L*W*H now lets solve a problem below.

Example:-

Find the volume of a rectangular prism whose width = 5cm, height = 6cm, Length = 9cm

Solution:

Given: Width = 5cm, height = 6cm, Length= 9cm.

Formula for volume of rectangular prism:
Volume = L × W × H
=9 × 5 × 6
= 45 × 6
=270cm3

Work on different problems as similar as the above mentioned example. Let me know how informative was this post. :-)
