Consider the prism shown in the diagram.

A prism consisting of two parallel bases and three rectangular faces. The top parallel base is shaded in grey. Each of the parallel bases has three sides. The angle on the bottom-right corner of the top base is marked with a small square, indicating a right angle. The two sides of the base which are adjacent to the right angle measures $9$9 cm and $12$12 cm. The height of the prism measures $3$3 cm.
