The formula for determining the volume of a triangular prism is expressed as

Volume = area of triangular face * height of prism

The fotmula for finding the area of the triangular face is

Area = 1/2 * base * height

Looking at the diagram,

base = 8 cm

height = 10 cm

Area of triangular face = 1/2 * 8 * 10 = 40 cm^2

height of prism = 20 cm

Volume of prism = 40 * 20 = 800 cm^3

Option B is correct
