SOLUTION:
Step 1:
In this question, we are given the following:
Step 2:
The details of the solution are as follows:
The formula for the volume of a prism is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Volume = B x h} \\ \text{where Area of Base, B }=\text{ ( length x Width) = ( 3}cm\text{ x 4 }cm\text{ ) = 12 }cm^2 \\ height,h\text{ = 4}cm \\ \text{Hence, the volume of one prism compartment = 12}cm^2\text{ x 4}cm\text{ = 48}cm^3 \\ \text{Then,} \\ \text{The total volume of the 12 prism compartments = 12 x 48 }cm^2\text{ = 576}cm^3 \end{gathered}[/tex]
