Calculating Volume of a Rectangular Prism

The volume of a rectangular prism (which is the shape shown in the image) is calculated by multiplying its length, width, and height. From the image, the length is given as 9 mm, the width as 8 mm, and the height as 2 mm. Volume = length × width × height Volume = 9 mm × 8 mm × 2 mm Volume = 72 mm² × 2 mm Volume = 144 mm³ So the volume of the prism is 144 cubic millimeters.
