Find the volume of a rectangular prism with length

5

cm, width

3

cm, and height

4

cm.

1
A rectangular prism (cuboid) has three mutually perpendicular dimensions. Its volume is the product of all three: $V = l \times w \times h$ .
2
Substitute the given dimensions — length $l = 5$ cm, width $w = 3$ cm, height $h = 4$ cm.
3
Compute: $V = 5 \times 3 \times 4 = 60$ cm³. Units are cubic (cm³) because length × length × length = length³.

Answer

V = 60 \text{ cm}^3

Volume measures three-dimensional space. For a rectangular prism, it equals the product of its three dimensions. Volume is always in cubic units.
