Volume of Rectangular Prisms 5-22

Generalize from length and area, to measuring volume – the number of unit cubes that fit inside a rectangular prism. Multiply length times width to get the area of the prism's base. Then scale the area of the base by the prism's height to get the prism's volume. Derive the formula for volume, V = Area of Base x H = (L x W) x H.
