Answer:

B

Explanation:

The volume of a rectangular prism is the length times width times height.

V = LWH

V = (4√3)(3√6)W

V = 12√18 W

V = 36√2 W

If the volume is irrational, then W cannot have a radical that is half of a perfect square, because when multiplied by √2, that would yield a rational volume. For example, √18 × √2 = √36 = 6.

Therefore, the answer must be B, because 12 is not half of a perfect square.

V = 36√2 (4√12)

V = 144√24

V = 288√6
