Measuring Volume with Unit Cubes

JT is preparing to bake a cake for a friend's birthday. Before baking, he wants to calculate the volume of the cake pan. He learns that volume is the space an object occupies and uses the dimensions of the pan (length: 5 units, width: 3 units, height: 2 units) to draw a prism. JT understands that a unit cube has a volume of one cubic unit and uses these cubes to measure the cake pan's volume accurately.
