Answer:
D. 264 in³
Explanation:
The missing edge dimension can be found using the Pythagorean theorem. Then the volume can be found using the appropriate formula.
Edge dimension
The missing dimension and the two given for the top triangle will satisfy the Pythagorean theorem. If the missing dimension is represented by 'a', then we have ...
a² +8² = 10²
a = √(100 -64) = 6 . . . . inches
Volume
The area of the top triangle is ...
A = 1/2bh . . . . where b and h are the base and height dimensions
A = 1/2(6 in)(8 in) = 24 in²
The volume of the triangular prism is ...
A = Bh . . . . . where B is the area of the triangular base, and h is the prism height
A = (24 in²)(11 in) = 264 in³
The volume of the triangular prism shown is 264 in³.
