Answer:
36 cubic inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the length, width and height of the rectangular prism are a, b, c respectively.
So, surface area, 2(ab + bc + ca) = 32 {Given} ............ (1)
Volume, abc = 12 {Given} ............ (2)
And, the sum of all the edges, 4(a + b + c) = 28 {Given} .......... (3)
Now, if the length width and height are increased by 1 inch, then the volume of the prism will be = (a + 1)(b + 1)(c + 1)
= abc + (ab + bc + ca) + (a + b + c) + 1
= 12 + 16 + 7 + 1 {From equations (1), (2) and (3)}
= 36 cubic inches. (Answer)
