Volume of Rectangular Prims

The video tutorial explains the concept of volume as the space occupied by a three-dimensional object, using a rectangular prism as an example. It details the formula for calculating the volume of a rectangular prism (V = L x W x H) and provides several examples with different units of measurement. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of using cubic units and encourages viewers to find and measure rectangular prisms in their surroundings.

What is the formula to calculate the volume of a rectangular prism?

• V = L x W x H

• V = L + W + H

• V = L x W

• V = L x H
