Write a numerical expression for the volume of eachof the rectangularprisms above.
V = l w h V = l w h V = l w h
What do all of these expressions have in common? What do they represent?
Rewrite the numerical expressions to show what they have in common.
If we know volume for a rectangularprism as lengthtimeswidthtimesheight, what is
another formula for volume that we could use based on these examples?
