What is the volume, in cubic cm, of a rectangular prism with a height of 3cm, a width of 2cm, and a length of 18cm?

1 answer

To find the volume of a rectangular prism, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Volume} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width} \times \text{Height} \]

Given the dimensions:

  • Height = 3 cm
  • Width = 2 cm
  • Length = 18 cm

Now, substituting these values into the formula:

\[ \text{Volume} = 18 , \text{cm} \times 2 , \text{cm} \times 3 , \text{cm} \]

Calculating step-by-step:

First, multiply the width and height:

\[ 2 , \text{cm} \times 3 , \text{cm} = 6 , \text{cm}^2 \]

Next, multiply this result by the length:

\[ 18 , \text{cm} \times 6 , \text{cm}^2 = 108 , \text{cm}^3 \]

Thus, the volume of the rectangular prism is

\[ \boxed{108} , \text{cubic cm} \]
