Calculate Cuboid Volume: 8cm × 2cm × 4cm Rectangular Prism

Shown below is a cuboid with a length of 8 cm.

Its width is 2 cm and its height is 4 cm.

Calculate the volume of the cube.

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

• Step 1: Identify the given dimensions of the cuboid.
• Step 2: Apply the formula for the volume of a cuboid.
• Step 3: Perform the calculation using the known dimensions.

Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: The problem states that the cuboid has a length of 8 cm, a width of 2 cm, and a height of 4 cm.
Step 2: We will use the volume formula for a cuboid, which is:

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

Step 3: Substituting the given dimensions into the formula, we have:

$V = 8 \, \text{cm} \times 2 \, \text{cm} \times 4 \, \text{cm}$

Performing the multiplication:

$V = 16 \, \text{cm}^2 \times 4 \, \text{cm} = 64 \, \text{cm}^3$

Therefore, the volume of the cuboid is $64 \, \text{cm}^3$.
