Volume of a Square Prism

The volume of a square prism is the space it occupies in the three-dimensional plane. It is measured in cubic units such as m³, cm³, mm³, ft³.

Formula

The formula is given below:

Let us solve some examples to understand the concept.

Find the volume of a square prism with a base edge of 5 in and length of 8.5 in.

Solution:

As we know,
Volume (V) = a²l, here a = 5 in, l = 8.5 in
∴ V = 5² × 8.5
= 212.5 in³

Find the volume of a prism with a square base of 6.5 ft and length of 12 ft.

Solution:

As we know,
Volume (V) = a²l, here a = 6.5 ft, l = 12 ft
∴ V = (6.5)² × 12
= 507 ft³
