This example demonstrates the calculation of a rectangular prism's volume by dynamically packing cubes. Key mathematical concepts include volume calculation and the geometric properties of cubes. Using GeoGebra commands such as Random, Sequence, Surface, and Prism, the construction process of the rectangular prism is visually illustrated. Suitable for high-grade elementary or junior high school students learning geometry and volume concepts.
