Assuming that the prism is a right prism (with height perpendicular to the base plane), its volume is the product of the area of the base and the height. The area of the triangular base is one-half the product of the base and the height (altitude) of the triangle. Therefore, the volume in this instance is 4 X 3 X 12/2 = 72 cubic centimeters.
