Answer 1

32 cubic inches

To find the volume of a rectangular prism, you multiply the length, width, and height. In this case, the length is 3 cubes (3 x 12 = 36 inches), the width is 2 cubes (2 x 12 = 24 inches), and the height is 2 cubes (2 x 12 = 24 inches).

Therefore, the volume is 36 x 24 x 24 = 32 cubic inches.
