Find and interpret volume of prisms and cylinders using correct units.
Use volume for inside-space contexts
Problem
Calculate the inside volume, in cubic feet, of a rectangular storage box that is \(4~\text{feet}\) long, \(3~\text{feet}\) wide, and \(2~\text{feet}\) high.
Big Picture
What this problem is really about
The phrase “inside space” signals a three-dimensional capacity rather than an exterior covering. Model the rectangular box as layers by multiplying its length and width for one layer, then multiply by height for all layers. Carrying feet through all three factors produces cubic feet, which distinguishes the result from surface area.
