Answer 1

The formula for the volume of a rectangular prism is
`V = whl`, where
`V` is the volume,
`w` is the width,
`h` is the height, and
`l` is the length. We can calculate the volume by substituting our values into this formula and solving.

`V = 12 \cdot 2 \cdot 3\\V = 72`

So, our answer is
`\boxed{72 \text{ ft}^2}`.

If the question is asking you for the number of cubes that we can fit, we replace each length with cubes that are
`1 \cdot 1 \cdot 1 \text{ ft}^3`, which are the largest cubes you can fit without overlap, you fit 72 cubes in the prism, each of length
`1 \text{ ft}`.
