What is the volume of a rectangular prism with length 3 cm, width 4 cm, and height 5 cm?

To find the volume of a rectangular prism, you use the formula:

[ \text{Volume} = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{height} ]

In this case, the given dimensions are a length of 3 cm, a width of 4 cm, and a height of 5 cm. Plugging these values into the formula gives:

[ \text{Volume} = 3 , \text{cm} \times 4 , \text{cm} \times 5 , \text{cm} ]

Calculating step by step:

1. First, multiply the length and width: [ 3 \times 4 = 12 , \text{cm}^2 ]

2. Next, multiply the result by the height: [ 12 , \text{cm}^2 \times 5 , \text{cm} = 60 , \text{cm}^3 ]

Thus, the volume of the rectangular prism is 60 cm³, which corresponds to the first choice. This result verifies the application of the volume formula for a rectangular prism, confirming the computation and
