Given the figure of a triangular prism.

The volume of the triangular prism = Bh

Where B is the area of one triangle and (h) is the distance between the triangular bases

The area of one triangle B will be as follows:


B=(1)/(2)(12)(9)=54\text{ }ft^2

The value of h = 16 ft

So, the volume of the triangular prism =


V=54*16=864\text{ }ft^3

So, the answer will be:

The volume of the triangular prism = 864 ft³
