A rectangular prism is a three-dimensional shape with six rectangular faces. Each face meets at right angles, and opposite faces are equal in size. The shape has twelve edges and eight vertices. Common examples of rectangular prisms include boxes, bricks, and books.
To find the volume of a rectangular prism, you multiply its length, width, and height. The formula is: Volume = Length × Width × Height. The surface area can be calculated by adding the areas of all six faces, which can be expressed as: Surface Area = 2(Length × Width + Width × Height + Height × Length).
