How to find the volume of a right rectangular prism?

Suppose that the right rectangular prism in consideration be having its dimensions as 'a' units, 'b' units, and 'c' units, then its volume is given as:

$V = a\times b \times c \: \: \rm unit^3$

Since the candle is in right rectangular prism shape with dimensions 25 cm, 8 cm, and 10 cm, therefore, its volume is:

$V = a\times b \times c = 25*8*10 = 2000\: \: \rm cm^3$

The oils weight in term of ounces is: 0.0025 ounces per cubic cm.

Since the oil would need to make up that whole rectangular prism's shape, which would need 2000 cubic cm units, so the weight of the oil needed is found as:

1 cubic cm = 0.0025 ounces of oil

2000 cubic cm = $0.0025 * 2000 = 5$ ounces.

Thus, the amount of oil needed  for the candle to have 0.0025 ounces of oil per cubic centimeter of wax is 5 ounces
