Question

The right rectangular prism below is made up of 8 cubes. Each cube has an edge length of 12inch.

What is the volume of this prism?

Answer 1

13824 cubic inches

Explanation:

So all we need to do is:

1) Find the volume of 1 cube of the 8

2) Multiply that by 8, because 8 of them make the prism.

SO 1)

the volume of cube = side * side * side = 12*12*12 = 1728

SO 2)

the volume of prism = vol(cube) * 8 = 1728 * 8 = 13824

ANSWER: 13824 cubic inches ;)
