Look at this shape.
There are 3 different measurements:
Length, Width, Height
The volume is found using the formula:
Volume = Length × Width × Height
Which is usually shortened to:
V = l × w × h
Or more simply:
V = lwh

Example: What is the volume:
The volume is:
10 × 5 × 4 = 200 units3
It also works out the same like this:
4 × 5 × 10 = 200 units3
The volume is:
10 × 5 × 4 = 200 units3
It also works out the same like this:
4 × 5 × 10 = 200 units3
