Answer: The volume of the rectangular prism is 9 feet²

Explanation:

The formula for determining volume of a rectangular prism is expressed as

Volume = LWH

Where

L represents the length of the rectangular prism.

W represents the width of the rectangular prism.

H represents the height of the rectangular prism.

From the information given,

L = 3 feet

W = 2 feet

H = 18 inches

We would convert 18 inches to feet

12 inches = 1 feet

18 inches = (18 × 1)/12 = 1.5 feet

The volume of the rectangular prism would be

3 × 2 × 1.5 = 9 feet²
