Find a rectangular prism. Somewhere in your house. Measure the rectangular prism we use a tape measure, ruler, graph, paper, each square is usually 1/4in) yo find the width length and height

The area of the rectangular prism above is derived as
[tex]\text{Area}=2(\lbrack width\times length\rbrack+\lbrack height\times length\rbrack+\lbrack height\times width\rbrack)[/tex]The volume of the rectangular prism is derived as
[tex]\text{Vol}=length\times width\times height[/tex]The area is denoted as "squared." For example, if the area is 10, then you write it out as "10 feet squared," OR "10 square feet."
The volume is written out as cubed, or cubic units
For example if the volume is now 10, your answer would be written out as "10 cubic feet."
