the formula to get the volume of the triangular prism is;

V = B x H1 x H2

where;

B = is the area of the base of the triangle
H1 and H2= are the height of the triangle and the height of the triangular prism.

now, to find the area of the base simply use the formula

A = 1/2 B x H

where B is the value of the base and H is the value of the height of the triangle.

given the formula we can derive another formula to get the volume of the triangular prism.

V = 1/2 B x H1 x H2

given the formula, you can now substitute the values
.

V = 1/2 (3 in. x 8 in. x 9 in.)

V = 1/2 (216 in.^3)

V = (216 in.^3)/2

V = 108 in.^3 this is the final answer
