To find the volume of a single stick of butter, we can use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism:
\[
\text{Volume} = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{height}
\]
The dimensions of a typical stick of butter are given as 32 mm × 32 mm × 121 mm. Plugging in these values, we get:
\[
\text{Volume} = 32 \, \text{mm} \times 32 \, \text{mm} \times 121 \, \text{mm}
\]
Calculating this step-by-step:
1. Calculate \(32 \, \text{mm} \times 32 \, \text{mm}\):
\[
32 \times 32 = 1024 \, \text{mm}^2
\]
2. Now multiply that result by 121 mm:
\[
1024 \, \text{mm}^2 \times 121 \, \text{mm} = 124864 \, \text{mm}^3
\]
So, the volume of one stick of butter is \(124864 \, \text{mm}^3\).
To find the volume of two sticks of butter, we simply multiply the volume of one stick by two:
\[
\text{Volume of two sticks} = 2 \times 124864 \, \text{mm}^3 = 249728 \, \text{mm}^3
\]
Thus, the volume of two sticks of butter is \(\boxed{249728}\) cubic millimeters.
