Question

The volume of a prism with a side length of 3, height of 12, and width of 9?

Answer 1

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

\[
\text{Volume} = \text{Base Area} \times \text{Height}
\]

First, we need to determine the base area. Since you mentioned a side length of 3, a height of 12, and a width of 9, it sounds like you might be referring to a rectangular prism, where the base area is calculated as:

\[
\text{Base Area} = \text{Width} \times \text{Length}
\]

In this case, let's assume the given "side length" refers to one dimension, possibly corresponding to the length of the base of the prism.

Given:
- Width = 9
- Length = Side Length = 3
- Height = 12

We can calculate the base area:

\[
\text{Base Area} = 3 \times 9 = 27
\]

Next, we calculate the volume:

\[
\text{Volume} = \text{Base Area} \times \text{Height} = 27 \times 12 = 324
\]

Thus, the volume of the prism is:

\[
\boxed{324}
\]
