From theese answers
, the correct answer is 32 cubic inches.
To find the volume of the rectangular prism, we can use the formula V = l x w x h, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height.
In this case, the length is 2 cubes, the width is 3 cubes, and the height is 2 cubes.
V = 2 x 3 x 2 = 12
Since each cube has an edge length of 12 inches, the total volume is 12 x 12 x 12 = 1728 cubic inches.
