Answer:

$V=120\ units^3$

Explanation:

we know that

The volume of a prism is equal to

V=BL

where

B is the area of the base of the prism (triangular base in this problem)

L is the length of the prism (perpendicular distance between the top and the bottom)

Find the area of the triangular base B

$B=(1)/(2)(3)(4)=6\ units^2$ ---> area of a triangle

we have

$L=20\ units$

substitute in the formula of volume

$V=6(20)=120\ units^3$

Note The problem does not specify whether the measurements are in centimeters or in units, so I assume they are in units.
