We are given the an area of #173.6# #"cm"# and a height of #9# #"cm"#.

We also know that the formula for area is #lw#, meaning we can substitute the area for #lw# in the volume formula.

Now let's plug in what we know into the formula and solve for the volume:
#V = ("173.6 cm"^2)("9 cm")#
#quad# #"=1562.4 cm"^3#

The volume of the rectangular prism is #"1562.4 cm"^3#.

Hope this helps!
