The volume of the prism is 144 ft^3. If we use the letter V to represent volume, the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism is V=length*width*height. When you plug in the numbers, the equation is V=12*6*2. When you multiply these three numbers together, you get 144. Because you are finding the volume, your units are cubed, so your answer is 144 ft^3. I have attached an image of this problem written out (I’m sorry if the image is bad, I drew it on my phone). If you need any more help or any clarification, please let me know and I will be happy to help!
