Rectangles, being two-dimensional objects, do not have volume. Rectangular prisms, on the other hand, do. The equation for their volume is length*width*height, or lwh.
Rectangular prisms are shapes which are easy to stack. As a result. many goods are transported in the form of rectangular prisms, or shapes approximating them: eg six packs of cans, ream of printer paper, bundle of newspapers. Furthermore, they are bundled together on palettes, into shipping containers, etc which are also rectangular prisms.
