Question 165897: a prism is 4cm long, 4cm wide and 2cm high. what is its volume

The volume of a prism is found using the following formula:
V = lwh, where l = length, w = width, h = height and V = volume
We plug and chug.
V = 4 x 4 x 2
V = 16 x 2
V = 32cm^3
We have to express the volume using the third power because volume in measured in cubic units. The units in this question is centimeters.
