To find the volume of a rectangular block of wood, you can use the formula:

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

Given:
- Length = 2 cm
- Width = 4 cm
- Height = 3 cm

Now, plug in the values:

\[ \text{Volume} = 2 \, \text{cm} \times 4 \, \text{cm} \times 3 \, \text{cm} \]

Calculating this:

\[ \text{Volume} = 2 \times 4 \times 3 = 24 \, \text{cm}^3 \]

So, the volume of the block of wood is **24 cm³**.
