0 is the correct answer;

2*0=0, and 0+3=3.

However if we plug in 1 it does not work you see; 2+1=2, and 2+3 = 5.

It has to be > not =

A rectangular prism has a length of 12 feet, a width of 6 feet, and a height of 2 feet.

The volume of the prism is 144 ft^3. If we use the letter V to represent volume, the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism is V=length*width*height. When you plug in the numbers, the equation is V=12*6*2. When you multiply these three numbers together, you get 144. Because you are finding the volume, your units are cubed, so your answer is 144 ft^3. I have attached an image of this problem written out (I’m sorry if the image is bad, I drew it on my phone).
