Answer:

Explanation:

All we need to do here is to multiply the area of the base by the height:

(36 cm²)(3 cm) = 108 cm³

The volume of the prism is 108 cm³.

If, however, you meant that the height is 5 cm, then the volume is (36 cm²)(5 cm) = 180 cm³.

If, however, you meant that the height is 6 cm, then the volume is (36 cm²)(6 cm) = 216 cm³.
