1 unit(length) 1 unit(height) 1 unit(width) One Cubic Unit A unit might be measured in inches, feet, centimeters, etc.
How many cubic units is this rectangle? What did you find? Yes, it is 8 cubic units!
How about this one? Remember… there are some cubes you can’t see! Watch...
Now Count Them What did you find? Yes! There are 12 cubic units!
What’s the formula? The formula for finding the volume of a rectangle is …. L x W x H = Volume This means we take the length times the width, then multiply that by the height.
Let’s try it! L = 3 H = 3 W = 2 3 x 3 x 2 = 18 cubic units
Find the volume of this one! What did you find? 4 x 2 x 3 = 24 cubic units
