The volume of the right rectangular prism can be found by multiplying the number of cubes by the volume of each cube.
Since there are 12 cubes in the rectangular prism and each cube has an edge length of 12 inches, the volume of each cube is:
Volume of each cube = 12 inches * 12 inches * 12 inches = 1728 cubic inches
Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is:
12 cubes * 1728 cubic inches = 20,736 cubic inches
The correct answer is not provided in the responses, but the volume is 20,736 cubic inches.
