The formula to find the volume of a rectangular prism is;
VOL = l x w x d....so
VOL = 3 x 2 x d
VOL = 6 x d
VOL is 12, so....6 x 2 = 12
Therefore, the depth is 2 ft

Assuming that the toy chest is a Prism.
The Volume of the Prism is:
V = l • w • d
In this exercise:
V = 12
l = 3
w = 2
12 = 3 • 2 • d
12 = 6 • d
6 • d = 12
d = 12 / 6
d = 2
The chest is 2 feet deep.
