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