2. A rectangular prism is 4 inches long, 3 inches wide, and 8 inches tall. Which expression can be used to find the volume of the rectangular prism in cubic inches? (A) \( (4 \times 3) \times 8 \) (B) \( 4+3+8 \) (C) \( (4 \times 3)+8 \) (D) \( 4-(3 \times 8) \)

The volume \( V \) of a rectangular prism can be calculated using the formula: \[ V = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{height} \] In this case, the dimensions of the rectangular prism are: - Length = 4 inches - Width = 3 inches - Height = 8 inches So, the volume can be expressed as: \[ V = 4 \times 3 \times 8 \] This can be rearranged as: \[ V = (4 \times 3) \times 8 \] Thus, the correct expression to find the volume of the rectangular prism in cubic inches is: (A) \( (4 \times 3) \times 8 \)
