Find the volume of a rectangular prism if its length, width and height are 85mm 120mm and 50mm, respectively.

Answer: the volume of a rectangular prism is 510,000 mm³.

We carefully read the terms and conditions. They talk about a rectangular prism, for which only one parameter is given for each of the measurements (length, width and height). We conclude that the opposite sides are equal. So we are dealing with a special case of a rectangular prism – a rectangular parallelepiped.

The volume of a rectangular parallelepiped is calculated as the product of the values of all three of its dimensions:

85 * 120 * 50 = 510,000 mm³.
