How to Calculate Box Volume

A rectangular prism, often called a cuboid or box, is a 3D shape with six rectangular faces. Its volume is the product of its three dimensions.

Standard Formula

V = l × w × h

l = length, w = width, h = height

Base Area Method

V = A_base × h

Area of base (l × w) multiplied by height

Examples

L=5, W=3, H=4

1l=5, w=3, h=4
2V = 5 × 3 × 4
3V = 15 × 4
4V = 60 cubic units
