1. **State the problem:** We have a right rectangular prism with a shaded part inside it. The volume of the shaded part is 102 in³. We are asked to find the volume of the entire right rectangular prism.
2. **Recall the formula for volume of a right rectangular prism:**
$$\text{Volume} = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{height}$$
3. **Analyze the given information:**
- The shaded part is inside the prism and has volume 102 in³.
- One dimension of the prism is given as 6 in.
4. **Reasoning:**
Since the shaded part is inside the prism, its volume is less than or equal to the volume of the entire prism.
5. **Assuming the shaded part shares the same height (6 in) as the prism:**
Let the base area of the shaded part be $A_s$ and the base area of the entire prism be $A_p$.
6. **Volume of shaded part:**
$$102 = A_s \times 6$$
7. **Solve for $A_s$:**
$$A_s = \frac{102}{6} = 17$$
8. **Since the shaded part is a portion of the base, and the prism's base area is larger, the volume of the prism is:**
$$\text{Volume of prism} = A_p \times 6$$
9. **If the shaded part is exactly the base of the prism, then the volume of the prism is 102 in³. But since the shaded part is only a portion, the prism's volume is larger. Without more information about the base dimensions, we cannot find the exact volume.**
**However, if the shaded part is the entire base, then the volume of the prism is:**
$$102 \text{ in}^3$$
**If the shaded part is a fraction of the base, the volume is larger accordingly.**
**Final answer:** The volume of the right rectangular prism is greater than or equal to 102 in³, depending on the base dimensions.
Since the problem states the shaded part volume is 102 in³ and the prism height is 6 in, the volume of the prism is:
$$\text{Volume} = \text{Base area} \times 6 = \frac{102}{6} \times 6 = 102$$
So the volume of the prism is 102 in³ if the shaded part is the entire base.
