The volume of a rectangular prism is given by $$V_{rectangle}=wlh$$where w is the width, l is the length, and h is the height.  The volume of a cylinder is given by $$V_{cylinder}=\pi r^2h$$where r is the radius and h is the height. The volume of the cube  is given by $$V_{cube}=l^3$$where l is the length.
