Answer:

The volume of the ramp is
$187\ yd^(3)$

Explanation:

we know that

The volume of the triangular prism (ramp) is equal to

V=BH

where

B is the area of the triangular base of the prism

H is the height of the prism

we have

$B=37.4\ yd^(2)$

$H=5\ yd$

substitute the values

$V=37.4(5)=187\ yd^(3)$
