The volume of a cuboid = length × height × depth.

​

​

In this case, 4  ×  2  ×  3  =  24.   So the volume of the cuboid is 24 m³.

​

Note: 24 m³ is "24 cubic metres". Volume is always measured in cubic units.

​

The index number ³ is used to show cubic units, because a volume is a 3-dimensional space.

​

The diagram below may help to illustrate that this cuboid has a volume of 24 cubic metres. It shows the cuboid divided into 24 cubes each of 1 cubic metre.
