Volume is the amount of space inside a three-dimensional (3-D) shape. It is measured in cubic units, such as cubic feet.

VOLUME
Volume is the amount of space inside a three-dimensional (3-D) shape. It is measured in cubic units, such as cubic feet.
This formula also can be written like this: V = l x w x h

Volume is the amount of space inside a three-dimensional (3-D) shape. It is measured in cubic units, such as cubic feet.
Example: What is the volume of a rectangular prism if l = 5 feet (ft), w = 4 ft, and h = 2 ft?
2 ft
4 ft 5 ft
V
Multiply: 5 x 4 x 2 = 40
The volume is 40 cubic ft.
