The volume of a pyramid is given by the formula: V = (1/3) * base area * height.
In this case, the base area of the rectangular pyramid is 4 cm * 3 cm = 12 cm². The height of the pyramid is 12 cm.
Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
V = (1/3) * 12 cm² * 12 cm
V = 48 cm³
Therefore, the volume of the rectangular pyramid is 48 cm³.
