The volume of a rectangular prism is the product of its length, width, and height.

440ft^3

Practice makes perfect

We are told that a cardboard box has the shape of the following rectangular prism.

Rectangular prism
We want to find the volume of the cardboard box. Recall that the volume of a rectangular prism is the product of its length l, width w, and height h. V = l w h In this prism, l = 11, w= 5, and h= 8. Let's substitute these values into the formula and calculate the volume of the box!
V = l w h
V = 11 (5) (8)
V = 440
The volume of the box is 440 cubic feet.
