Answer:

24μm³

Step-by-step explanation:

According to this question, a cell, which is said to have the shape of a rectangular prism have the following dimensions:

Length = 4μm

Width = 2μm

Depth = 3μm

Since the cell has the shape of a rectangular prism, the formula for volume of rectangular prism, which is V = l × b × d

Volume of the cell = 4μm × 4

3μm × 2μm

= 24μm³
