Answer:

The volume of the rectangular prism is 24yd³

Explanation:

We need to think of the hole as a rectangular base prism

To calculate the volume of a rectangular prism we have to use the following formula:

v = volume

w = width

l = length

h = height

v = w * h * l

we replace the values that ​​we know

v = 2yd * 3yd * 4ft

v = 24yd³

The volume of the rectangular prism is 24yd³
