Base = 7 mm
Height = 3 mm

mathstudent55 · Answer

Multiply the thrre dimensions together.

mathstudent55 · Answer

V = LWH
V = volume
L = length
W = width
H = height

zpupster · Answer

V = Length x Base x Height 
remember your units iare cubed mm3

mathstudent55 · Answer

Be careful with the term base. The area of a rectangular prism is the product of the area of the base and the height, V = AH. The area of the base is the product of the length and width, A = LW. That is why the volume of the prism is V = LWH. You are using the word base to mean the width, but that is not the conventional way of doing it.
