Volume Of Rectangular Prisms

This worksheet provides straightforward practice with finding the volume of rectangular prisms using the formula \( V = lwh \). Students are given the length, width, and height of each prism and must substitute the values directly into the formula to determine the volume.

A fully worked example models the step-by-step multiplication process, reinforcing how to organize work and multiply in stages. Students then complete ten practice problems with a mix of whole numbers and decimals across metric and customary units, including centimeters, inches, and feet. A challenge problem with decimal dimensions extends the level of precision required.

Because the focus is purely on substitution and accurate computation, this resource strengthens procedural fluency with three-dimensional multiplication and reinforces understanding of cubic units.
