Answer 1

To calculate the volume \( V \) of a rectangular prism, you can use the formula:

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

Given:

• Height = 3 cm
• Width = 2 cm
• Length = 18 cm

Now, plug in the values:

\[ V = 3 , \text{cm} \times 2 , \text{cm} \times 18 , \text{cm} \]

Calculating this step by step:

1. \( 3 \times 2 = 6 \)
2. \( 6 \times 18 = 108 \)

So,

\[ V = 108 , \text{cm}^3 \]

Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is \( 108 , \text{cm}^3 \).
