Find and interpret volume of prisms and cylinders using correct units.
Multiply the three rectangular-prism dimensions
Problem
A rectangular prism is \(3~\text{units}\) long, \(4~\text{units}\) wide, and \(6~\text{units}\) high. What is its volume?
Big Picture
What this problem is really about
Volume counts the unit cubes filling the prism. Multiply length by width to find how many cubes fit in one horizontal layer, then multiply that base count by the number of layers given by the height. Because three length dimensions are multiplied, the result belongs in cubic units rather than square units.
