Remember the formulas for the volume of a prism and the surface area of a prism.

16 in.^3

We want to find the volume of a rectangular prism with length 4 inches, width 2 inches, and height 2 inches. Let's make a diagram of the prism!

The volume of a rectangular prism with length l, width w, and height h can be calculated using the following formula. V=l wh We are given that l= 4, w= 2, and h= 2, so we have enough information to calculate the value of V.
V=l wh
V= 4( 2)( 2)
V=16
The volume of the prism is 16 in.^3.
