Question

Find the volume of the square prism.
Height: 4 cm
Width: 6 cm
Length: 3 cm

Answer 1

To find the volume of a rectangular prism (or a square prism, which is a specific type of rectangular prism), the formula is:

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

In your case, you provided the following dimensions:
- Height = 4 cm
- Width = 6 cm
- Length = 3 cm

Now, substituting the values into the formula:

\[
\text{Volume} = 3 \, \text{cm} \times 6 \, \text{cm} \times 4 \, \text{cm}
\]

Calculating this step-by-step:

1. First, multiply the length and width:
\[
3 \, \text{cm} \times 6 \, \text{cm} = 18 \, \text{cm}^2
\]

2. Then, multiply the result by the height:
\[
18 \, \text{cm}^2 \times 4 \, \text{cm} = 72 \, \text{cm}^3
\]

Therefore, the volume of the square prism is

\[
\boxed{72} \, \text{cm}^3
\]
