It is usually expressed in grams per cubic centimeter (g\/cm\u00b3) when using metric units. In this problem, the prism has a high density of 120 g\/cm\u00b3, meaning that every single cubic centimeter of the material weighs 120 grams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We first determine the volume by multiplying the three dimensions. Since the prism has a length of 4 cm, a width of 2 cm, and a height of 1 cm, it occupies a total volume of 8 cm\u00b3. Volume is simply how much three-dimensional space the prism takes up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once we know how much space the prism occupies, we multiply this volume by the density to find the mass. Because each cubic centimeter weighs 120 grams, 8 cubic centimeters will weigh 8 \u00d7 120, which equals 960 grams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is how we conclude that the mass of the prism is <strong>960 grams<\/strong>.
