Use the formula

to find the volume of the rectangular prism (above).

is the area of the base. Since this is a rectangle, ​we can use this formula to find the area
where l is the length and w is the width of the rectangle.

V = l * w * h

To find the volume of the rectangular prism, we first need to calculate the area of the base:
A = l * w

Then we can plug the area of the base back into the volume formula:
V = A * h

Now we need to substitute the values given in the problem:
l = 4 cm
w = 3 cm
h = 5 cm

Calculate the area of the base:
A = 4 cm * 3 cm = 12 cm^2

Now plug the area back into the volume formula:
V = 12 cm^2 * 5 cm = 60 cm^3

Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is 60 cubic centimeters (cm^3).
