The volume of the rectangular prism can be calculated by multiplying the number of cubes used to create the prism.
Number of cubes = 3 columns * 2 cubes high * 2 cubes deep = 12 cubes
Each cube has a side length of 13 inches, so the volume of each cube is 13 * 13 * 13 = 2197 cubic inches.
Therefore, the total volume of the prism is 12 cubes * 2197 cubic inches = 26364 cubic inches.
So the volume of the prism is 26364 cubic inches, which is already reduced to the lowest terms.
