To solve a rectangular prism (or a cube), you'd use the formula . But in this case, we have dimensions that are not similar to each other. To make them similar, we'd have to choose a common measure. Let's convert everything to meters.
To convert 5cm to meters, you'd use this formula: . In this case, it'd be 5/100=.05 meters.
To convert 23km to meters, you'd use this formula:. In this case, it'd be 23*1000=23,000 meters.
345 meters is already in meters, so we don't have to convert that.
Now, you'd plug those into the rectangular prism formula to get: .05*345*23000=396,750 meters in total.
