Volume is the amount of three-dimensional space taken up by an object. The computer or phone you're using right now has volume, and even you have volume. Finding the volume of a rectangular prism is actually really easy. Just multiply the length, the width, and the height of the rectangular prism. That's it! This article will walk you through the process step-by-step and show you an example.
