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

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

In this case, it seems you have three measurements: 5, 8, and 12. It's likely that these represent the dimensions of the prism (length, width, and height or base area).

If we're assuming that these dimensions are the base dimensions of a rectangular prism (for example, length = 5, width = 8, and height = 12), we can calculate the volume as follows:

1. Calculate the base area (for a rectangular base):

\[
\text{Base Area} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width} = 5 \times 8 = 40
\]

2. Now calculate the volume using the height:

\[
\text{Volume} = \text{Base Area} \times \text{Height} = 40 \times 12 = 480
\]

Thus, the volume of the prism is **480 cubic units**.

If the dimensions represent something else or if it's a different type of prism, please provide more details!
