Answer:

The volume is 252 cubic inches.

Explanation:

The volume of a prism is found by using the formula V = B*h where B is the area of the base. To find the Base area of a triangular prism, use the area A = 1/2b*h. The base and height of a triangle are the two smallest sides of a triangle.

Substitute b = 7 and h = 24 into 1/2b*h.

A = 1/2(7)(24)

A = 1/2 (168)

A = 84 square inches.

To find the volume, substitute B = 84 and h = 3.

V = 84*3

V = 252 cubic inches
