Answer: The correct option is (C) 36 cm².

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the volume of a rectangular prism with base area 36 cm² and height
3(5)/(6)~\textup{cm}.

We know that the volume of a rectangular prism with base area b sq. units and height h units is given by


V=bh.

Here,

base area, b = 36 cm²

and

height is


h=3(5)/(6)=(23)/(6)~\textup{cm}.

Therefore, the VOLUME of the given prism will be


V=bh=36* (23)/(6)=6* 23=138~\textup{cm}^3.

Thus, the volume of the given rectangular prism is 36 cm².

Option (D) is CORRECT.
