Volume of a rectangle

A rectangle is a two-dimensional shape and therefore does not have a volume. It has an area.

If you are referring to the volume of a rectangular prism (also known as a cuboid), the formula is:

$$V = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{height}$$

Where:

• $V$ is the volume
• $\text{length}$ is the measure of the longest side of the base
• $\text{width}$ is the measure of the shorter side of the base
• $\text{height}$ is the measure of how tall the prism is

So, the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism is $V = LWH$.
