The volume of the right rectangular prism can be found by multiplying the length, width, and height of the prism. In this case, the length is 3 cubes, the width is 2 cubes, and the height is 2 cubes.

Volume = 3 cubes x 2 cubes x 2 cubes
Volume = 12 cubic cubes

Since each cube has sides of 13 inches, the volume of the prism is:
12 cubic cubes x (13 inches)^3
12 x 13^3 = 12 x 2197 = 26364 cubic inches

Therefore, the volume of the prism is 26364 cubic inches.
