The volume of railway car is 216 cubic meters

Solution:

Given that, Railway car is shaped like a rectangular prism with a length of 18 meters, a width of 3 meters and a height of 4 meters

To find: volume of railway car

The volume of rectangular prism is given as:

v = l * w * h

Where,

"l" is the length and "w" is the width and "h" is the height of prism

From given question,

length = 18 meters

width = 3 meters

height = 4 meters

Substituting the values, we get

v = 18 * 3 * 4 = 216

Thus volume of railway car is 216 cubic meters
