Answer:

Explanation:

When you find the volume of prisms, you're essentially taking the area of the base and multiply it by the length, in varied orientations.

In this case, I'd start by finding the area of the parallelogram facing us.

The formula for a parallelogram's area is the same as a rectangle's:

A = b x h

In this case, h = 3 cm and b = 8 cm.

A = 24 cm²

Now, you multiple the area by the length of the parallelogram, which is 8 cm.

V = 24 cm² x 8 cm

= 192 cm³

I hope this helps!
