Grade 6 math quiz: Calculating volume of rectangular prisms

📚 Quick Study Guide

• 📏 Definition: A rectangular prism is a 3D shape with six rectangular faces. Think of a box!
• 📐 Volume: The amount of space a rectangular prism occupies.
• ➗ Formula: Volume (V) = Length (l) × Width (w) × Height (h), or $V = l \times w \times h$
• ➕ Units: Volume is measured in cubic units (e.g., $cm^3$, $m^3$, $in^3$).
• 💡 Tip: Make sure all measurements are in the same units before calculating the volume.
