This option is one of the main formulas to use. You will be given 3 numbers - that is a dead give away that you will use this option.

Option 1:

This option is often used when we are given the Area of the Base or LAYER. Like option 1, to solve for volume just multiply both numbers together!

Option 2:

A cube has equal side lengths - you will often only be given one number to find volume with!

Length = Width = Height
