3 <p>The volume of a rectangle (rectangular prism) is the total space it occupies or the number of cubic units it can hold. A rectangular prism is a 3D shape with six rectangular faces. To find the volume of a rectangular prism, we multiply its length, width, and height. In real life, kids relate to the volume of a rectangular prism by thinking of things like a brick, a book, or a box. In this topic, let’s learn about the volume of a rectangle.</p>

4 <h2>What is the volume of a rectangle?</h2>

5 <p>The volume<a>of</a>a rectangular prism is the amount of space it occupies. It is calculated by using the<a>formula</a>: Volume = Length × Width × Height Where 'Length,' 'Width,' and 'Height' are the dimensions of the rectangular prism.</p>

6 <p>Volume of Rectangle Formula A rectangular prism is a 3-dimensional shape where the length, width, and height can be different.</p>

7 <p>To calculate its volume, you multiply the length by the width and then by the height.</p>

8 <p>The formula for the volume of a rectangular prism is given as follows: Volume = Length × Width × Height</p>

9 <h2>How to Derive the Volume of a Rectangle?</h2>

10 <p>To derive the volume of a rectangular prism, we use the concept of volume as the total space occupied by a 3D object.</p>

11 <p>Since a rectangular prism has three dimensions, its volume can be derived as follows: The formula for the volume of any rectangular prism is: Volume = Length × Width × Height Here, the Length, Width, and Height are the dimensions of the prism.</p>

12 <p>The volume of a rectangular prism will be, Volume = Length × Width × Height</p>

13 <h2>How to find the volume of a rectangle?</h2>

14 <p>The volume of a rectangular prism is always expressed in cubic units, for example, cubic centimeters (cm³), cubic meters (m³). Multiply the length, width, and height to find the volume.</p>

15 <p>Let’s take a look at the formula for finding the volume of a rectangle: Write down the formula Volume = Length × Width × Height The Length, Width, and Height are the measurements needed to calculate the volume.</p>

16 <p>Once we know the dimensions, substitute those values in the formula volume = Length × Width × Height To find the volume, multiply the length, width, and height. Volume = Length × Width × Height.</p>
