The volume of a rectangular pyramid is given by the formula V = (1/3) * length * width * height.
In this case, the length is 4 cm, the width is 3 cm, and the height is 12 cm.
Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
V = (1/3) * 4 * 3 * 12
V = (1/3) * 144
V = 48
Therefore, the volume of the rectangular pyramid is 48 cubic centimeters.
