4. What is the volume of the prism dimensions 8 in by 12 in by 2 in?

1 answer

To find the volume of a rectangular prism, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Volume} = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{height} \]

Given the dimensions of the prism:
- Length: 8 inches
- Width: 12 inches
- Height: 2 inches

Plugging these values into the formula, we get:

\[ \text{Volume} = 8 \, \text{in} \times 12 \, \text{in} \times 2 \, \text{in} \]

\[ \text{Volume} = 96 \, \text{in}^2 \times 2 \, \text{in} \]

\[ \text{Volume} = 192 \, \text{in}^3 \]

So, the volume of the prism is 192 cubic inches.
