Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism
The volume \( V \) of a rectangular prism is calculated using the formula:
\[
V = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{height}
\]
Step 2: Substitute the given values into the formula
Given:
Length \( = 18 \, \text{in.} \)
Width \( = 12 \, \text{in.} \)
Height \( = 6 \, \text{in.} \)
Substitute these values into the formula:
\[
V = 18 \times 12 \times 6
\]
Step 3: Perform the multiplication
First, multiply the length and width:
\[
18 \times 12 = 216
\]
Next, multiply the result by the height:
\[
216 \times 6 = 1296
\]
