Questions about these worksheets
Yes. Every volume of rectangular prisms sheet is free to print and free to download as a PDF. There is no account to make, no email to hand over and no limit on how many you take.
Yes. The answer key prints on a second page, and you can choose whether it shows each question beside its answer or just the answers in a list.

These worksheets run in a browser tab for free, with no account and nothing to install.

Yes. There are three levels, and you can tick more than one for a sheet that mixes them, in which case the questions come out easiest first. The harder levels are not just larger numbers: they ask for something the easy ones do not.
You pick from 3: volume of a prism, volume of a cube and tanks and boxes: word problems. Tick as many as you want and set how many of each, or let it spread them evenly.
