Introduction to rectangular prism volume

Introduction to rectangular prism volume.

                          Rectangular prism volume article deals with the volume of the rectangular prism and the model problems related to volume of the rectangular prism.

Definition of rectangular prism volume:

                      The amount of space occupied by the three dimensional rectangular prism. The volume of the rectangular prism is measured in cube units ( cm3 ,m3).volume can be calculated to three dimensional shapes only.

Formula Torectangular Prism Volume:

When the length, breadth and height of the rectangular prism are known, the formula to find the volume is
                               Volume of the rectangular prism = L*B*H cube. Units
                                     L is the length of the rectangular prism
                                     B is the breadth of the rectangular prism
                                     H is the height of the rectangular prism.

Model Problem to the Rectangular Prism Volume:

Problem: 1
                What is the volume of the rectangular prism when the length is 12cm, breadth is 8cm and the height is 10cm?
           Solution:
                      Length of the rectangular prism = 12cm
                      Breadth of the rectangular prism = 8cm
                      Height of the rectangular prism = 10cm
              Formula:
                               Rectangular prism’s volume = L*B*H cube. Units
                                                                             = 12*8* 10
                                                                             = 12*80
                                                                             = 960 cm3
                      Volume of the rectangular prism is 960 cm3

Problem: 2
                what is  the volume of the rectangular prism when the length is 9cm, breadth is 6cm and the height is 11cm
           Solution:
                      Length of the rectangular prism = 9cm
                      Breadth of the rectangular prism = 6cm
                      Height of the rectangular prism = 11cm
              Formula:
                          Rectangular prism’s volume    = L*B*H cube. Units
                                                                             = 9*6* 11
                                                                             = 54*11
                                                                             = 594 cm3
                      Volume of the rectangular prism is 594 cm3

Problem: 3
                Finding the volume of the rectangular prism when the length is 7cm, breadth 3cm and the height is 5cm
           Solution:
                      Length of the rectangular prism = 7cm
                      Breadth of the rectangular prism = 3cm
                      Height of the rectangular prism = 5cm
              Formula:
                               Rectangular prism’s volume = L*B*H cube. Units
                                                                             = 7*3* 5
                                                                             = 21*5
                                                                             = 105 cm3
                      Volume of the rectangular prism is 105 cm3
