Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle \small 8cm^3\)

\(\displaystyle \small 5cm^3\)

\(\displaystyle \small 6cm^3\)

\(\displaystyle \small 7cm^3\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle \small 6cm^3\)

Explanation:

The formula for volume of a rectangular prism is \(\displaystyle \small v=l\times w\times h\)

We can use this formula and plug in the value from the question:

\(\displaystyle \small v=3\times1\times2\)

\(\displaystyle \small v=6cm^3\)

Remember, volume is always labeled as units to the third power.
