To find the volume of a rectangular prism, the formula used is:

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

Given the dimensions of the prism:

  • Length = 414 in.
  • Width = 3 in.
  • Height = 114 in.

We can identify which expressions can be used to find the volume:

  1. 114(3 + 414): This expression does not represent the formula for volume (it combines width and length in a way that is not appropriate for volume calculation).

  2. 1 1/4 (4 1/4 + 3): This expression also does not represent the volume calculation for the prism.

  3. 414 ∙ 3 ∙ 114: This is the correct expression for finding the volume, as it directly matches the formula for volume.

  4. 4 1/4 times 4 times 1 1/4: This expression does not correspond to the dimensions provided, so it is not a valid way to calculate volume.

  5. 1234 ∙ 114: This expression does not represent the volume correctly as it does not use the correct dimensions from the problem statement.

  6. 12(1234 ∙ 114): Similar to above, this does not represent the volume calculation correctly.

Therefore, the only expression that can be used to find the volume of the prism is:

  • 414 ∙ 3 ∙ 114.
