What’s the formula? The formula for finding the volume of a rectangle is ….

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 2 = 18 cubic units

Let’s try it! L=3 H=3 W=2 3 x 2 = 18 cubic units
