Rectangular Prisms

A rectangular prism is a three-dimensional shape with six rectangular faces. It is also known as a rectangular solid. The opposite faces of a rectangular prism are congruent and parallel, and the angles between the adjacent faces are right angles.

The volume of a rectangular prism can be calculated using the formula:

Volume = length × width × height

The surface area of a rectangular prism can be calculated using the formula:

Surface Area = 2(length × width + width × height + height × length)

These formulas help in finding the amount of space inside the prism (volume) and the total area of all the surfaces (surface area).

Rectangular prisms are commonly found in everyday objects such as boxes, buildings, and furniture.
