157.5 cubic cm

The volume of a right rectangular prism is given by the formula V = Bh, where B is the area of the base and h is the height.

In this case, we are given B = 18 cm^2 and h = 17.5 cm.

So, V = 18 cm^2 x 17.5 cm = 315 cm^3.

Therefore, the answer is 157.5 cubic cm, which is the same as 315 cm^3 divided by 2.
so, why did you divide by 2?
I apologize, I made a mistake in my explanation. The correct way to obtain the answer 157.5 cubic cm is as follows:

The volume of a right rectangular prism is given by the formula V = Bh, where B is the area of the base and h is the height.

In this case, we are given B = 18 cm^2 and h = 17.5 cm.

So, V = 18 cm^2 x 17.5 cm = 315 cm^3.

Therefore, the answer is 315 cubic cm, which is the volume of the right rectangular prism. There is no need to divide by 2.

I apologize for any confusion my previous answer may have caused.
