Question

In the volume formula, V = Bh, what does the capital B stand for?

Answer 1

base?

Answer 2

for volume it's the area of the base

"B" is for "base" and it was capitalized because it is the intermediate result of width times length. Because it is width times length times height that gives the volume for 3-dimensional objects like boxes that have 90-degree corners.
