Answer 1

To calculate the volume \( V \) of a rectangular prism, you can use the formula:

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

Given:
- Height = 3 cm
- Width = 2 cm
- Length = 18 cm

Now, plug in the values:

\[
V = 3 \, \text{cm} \times 2 \, \text{cm} \times 18 \, \text{cm}
\]

Calculating this step by step:

1. \( 3 \times 2 = 6 \)
2. \( 6 \times 18 = 108 \)

So,

\[
V = 108 \, \text{cm}^3
\]

Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is \( 108 \, \text{cm}^3 \).
