Calculate the volume of a rectangular prism-shaped energy container based on the holographic blueprint dimensions in inches.

Back

15 cubic inches

Answer explanation

The volume of a rectangular prism is calculated by multiplying the length, width, and height. In this case, the length is 3 inches, the width is 2 inches, and the height is 2.5 inches. Multiplying these values gives us a volume of 15 cubic inches, which is the correct choice.
