⚡ The twist

Slow down. The first answer that pops up isn't always the right one.

📖 1 of 2

The volume of a rectangular prism tells us how much space is inside the shape. To find the volume, you multiply the length, width, and height of the prism. For example, if you have a box that is 4 units long, 3 units wide, and 2 units high, you would calculate the volume by doing 4 × 3 × 2. This means the volume is 24 cubic units!

📖 2 of 2

You can think of cubic units as little cubes that fit inside the prism. So, the volume helps us understand how much can fit inside a box or container.
