To find the volume of wood chips in the pickup truck, we can use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism:
\[
\text{Volume} = \text{Base Area} \times \text{Height}
\]
In this case, the base area of the truck bed is given as 300 square centimeters, and the height of the wood chips is 100 centimeters.
Plugging in the values:
\[
\text{Volume} = 300 \, \text{cm}^2 \times 100 \, \text{cm}
\]
\[
\text{Volume} = 30000 \, \text{cm}^3
\]
Thus, the volume of wood chips in the pickup truck is **30,000 cubic centimeters**.
