Answer:

The volume of the rectangular prism in cubic inches is;


4\text{ cubic inches}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the figure in the attached image;

The edge length of each cube is 1/2 in.

so, the height of the rectangular prism which has two cubes is;


h=2*(1)/(2)in=1in

The length and width of the rectangular prism is;


\begin{gathered} l=4*(1)/(2)in=2in \\ w=4*(1)/(2)in=2in \end{gathered}

Recall that the volume of a rectangular prism can be calculated using the formula;


V=l* w* h

substituting the values;


\begin{gathered} V=2in*2in*1in \\ V=4\text{ }in^3 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism in cubic inches is;


4\text{ cubic inches}
