To find the volume of a rectangular prism, you use the formula:
\[ \text{Volume} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width} \times \text{Height} \]
In this case, you're given the dimensions of the prism:
- Length = 12 cm
- Width = 8 cm
- Height = 4 cm
Now, substituting the values into the formula:
\[ \text{Volume} = 12 , \text{cm} \times 8 , \text{cm} \times 4 , \text{cm} \]
Calculating step-by-step:
- \(12 \times 8 = 96\)
- \(96 \times 4 = 384\)
Thus, the volume of the rectangular prism is:
\[ \text{Volume} = 384 , \text{cm}^3 \]
So, the final answer is:
\[ \text{Volume} = 384 , \text{cm}^3 \]
