Answer 1

Here's what we know:

V = Lwd (Volume is length * width * depth)

Lw = 12 (the area of the base is length * width, and that equals 12 cm²)

d = 3 ¹/₃, or ¹⁰/₃ (the depth--seen as height here--is 3 ¹/₃ cm. Modified to 10/3 for ease of multiplication)

 

That gives us:

V = 12 cm * 10/3 cm²

Multiply that out, and you'll get the volume. Don't forget to place the proper unit form at the end!
