What is the formula for finding the volume of a rectangular prism?

• Length x Width

• Length x Width x Height

• Length + Width + Height

• Width x Height

When calculating the volume of a prism, what do you multiply the area of the base by?

• The perimeter

• The height

• The length

• The width

In the problem walkthrough, what is the first step in finding the volume of the prism?

• Finding the width of the prism

• Finding the perimeter of the base

• Finding the area of the base

• Finding the height of the prism

If the area of the base is given as 24 square feet, and the height is 10 feet, what is the volume of the prism?

• 24 square feet

• 240 cubic feet

• 240 square feet

• 24 cubic feet

What unit is used to express the volume of a prism when the dimensions are in meters?
