To calculate the volume of a rectangular prism you have to multiply the length of the prism by the width and by the height, following the formula:


V=l\cdot w\cdot h

The measurements of the rectangular prism shown in the diagram are:

length l=9cm

width w=3cm

height h=16cm

The volume can be calculated as:


\begin{gathered} V=l\cdot w\cdot h \\ V=9\cdot3\cdot16 \\ V=432\operatorname{cm}^3 \end{gathered}

The volume of the rectangular prism is 432cm³, the correct choice is D.
