Yes, answer is 168.
OpenStudy (tylermckinney16):
84??
OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):
84 seems more logical to me.

@Vincent-Lyon.Fr
Doesn't the word prism alone refer to |dw:1457124654991:dw|Sorry, if I'm wrong! ^_^ If it's a triangular prism, then yes it'd be 84 because you'd add a *1/2 in the formula...|dw:1457124706232:dw|
OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):
I don't know. That's the problem if the kind of prism is not specified. I have not studied geometry in English, so I could not tell what is intended.
In my language prism on its own is always triangular.

Okay, thanks for the input, you're probably right about it being triangular! :) @Vincent-Lyon.Fr I just looked up the word "prism" and most of the results were triangular. XD My fault!
OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):
It seems what you have drawn is a cuboid or a right rectangular prism or a rectangular parallelepiped.
l x w x h is the volume of any (not necessarily rectangular) parallelepiped.
