Answer: 3,672 cm³

Step-by-step explanation: In this problem, we are asked to find the volume of the given rectangular prism.

To find the volume of a rectangular prism, or a prism whose base is a rectangle, we use the formula shown.

Volume = length × width × height

In this problem, we don't need to know what the length, width, or height of the prism is but we just need the dimensions all together. This is because changing the order of the factors does not change the product which is the commutative property of multiplication. This means that we can plug any number in for the length, width, or height.

Volume = (24 cm) (9 cm) (17 cm)

Volume = 3,672 cm³.

Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is 3,672 cm³.
