Answer:

84 cm³

Explanation:

There are formulas for the volumes of simple geometric solids: prism, cylinder, pyramid, cone, frustum of a pyramid or cone.

The formula for the volume of a rectangular prism is ...

V = LWH . . . . . product of Length, Width, and Height

Put the numbers in place of the corresponding variables and do the arithmetic.

V = (3 cm)(4 cm)(7 cm) = 84 cm³

The volume of this rectangular prism is 84 cubic centimeters.
