The volume of the right rectangular prism is the amount of cubes in it

The formula to determine the volume of the right rectangular prism is V(n) = n

<h3>How to determine the volume?</h3>

The question is incomplete; as the figure is not given.

So, I will provide a general solution

The volume of a one inch cube is:

$V = 1^3$

$V = 1$

Assume the number of one inch cubes used to fill the right rectangular prism is n.

Then the volume of the right rectangular prism would be:

$V(n) = n * 1$

This gives

$V(n) = n$

Hence, the general formula to determine the volume of the right rectangular prism is V(n) = n
