Let's solve each of the volume problems by counting the number of unit cubes in each 3D shape. The
volume of a rectangular prism made of unit cubes is calculated by multiplying:
>
Volume = Length × Width × Height
We'll count the cubes for each shape.

💡
Tip: You can verify by imagining slicing the shape into layers and counting how many cubes are in each layer, then multiplying by the number of layers.
