A rectangular prism has a length of 18 meters, a height of 3 meters, and a width of 4 meters. What is its volume, in cubic meters?

Answer 1

The volume \( V \) of a rectangular prism can be calculated using the formula:

\[ V = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{height} \]

Given:

• Length = 18 meters
• Width = 4 meters
• Height = 3 meters

Substituting the values into the formula:

\[ V = 18 , \text{m} \times 4 , \text{m} \times 3 , \text{m} \]

Calculating step-by-step:

1. First, multiply the length and width: \[ 18 \times 4 = 72 \]

2. Then, multiply the result by the height: \[ 72 \times 3 = 216 \]

Thus, the volume of the rectangular prism is:

\[ \boxed{216} , \text{cubic meters} \]
