Can you use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism to find the volume of a cube? Explain.(you better)

Sure, the cube is one type of rectangular prism. Is that enough of an explanation for you?

Did you know?

Did you know that you can use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism to find the volume of a cube? A rectangular prism is a three-dimensional shape with six rectangular faces, whereas a cube is a special type of rectangular prism with all sides of equal length. Since a cube's length, width, and height are all the same, you can use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism (V = l × w × h) by substituting the length, width, and height with the same value, which is the length of any side of the cube. This means that the volume of a cube can be calculated as V = s × s × s, where "s" represents the length of its sides. So next time you encounter a cube, you can easily find its volume by using the formula for a rectangular prism!
