To find the volume of the storage shed, which is in the shape of a rectangular prism, we use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism:

\[
V = l \times w \times h
\]

Where:
- \( l \) is the length (12 ft),
- \( w \) is the width (10 ft),
- \( h \) is the height (8 ft).

Now, let’s compute the volume:

\[
V = 12 \, \text{ft} \times 10 \, \text{ft} \times 8 \, \text{ft}
\]

Let me calculate that.The volume of the storage shed is \( 960 \) cubic feet.

1. How do you find the surface area of a rectangular prism?
2. How does changing one dimension of the shed affect its volume?
3. What is the difference between volume and surface area?
4. Can the volume of irregularly shaped objects be calculated similarly?
5. How would you calculate the volume if the storage shed had slanted walls?

**Tip:** When solving problems involving volume, make sure all dimensions are in the same unit before performing calculations.

A storage shed is in the shape of a right rectangular prism, with dimensions in feet: 12 ft (length), 10 ft (width), and 8 ft (height). What is the volume of the shed?

Learn how to calculate the volume of a right rectangular prism, using a storage shed with dimensions 12 ft, 10 ft, and 8 ft as an example. This geometry problem demonstrates the formula for the volume of 3D shapes and is suitable for Grades 6-8.
