    Given,

    Height of the rectangular prism (h) = 4 inches

    Width of the rectangular prism (w) = 12 inches

    Since the prism can hold 432 cubic inches of water,

    Volume of the rectangular prism (V) = 432 inches³

    Formula for Volume of a rectangular prism (V) is,

    V = whl

    I am assuming you are looking for the third side, the length (l) of the prism.

    From the above formula for volume,

    Length of the prism (l) = V : wh = 432 : (4x12) = 432 : 48 = 9 inches
