Answer:

The volume of a triangular prism mentioned is:

  • 210
    ft^(3)

Explanation:

To obtain the volume of a triangular prism, first, you must identify the base area with the values given in the exercise:

  • Base area = Base length * Base height.
  • Base area = 6
    ft * 5
    ft
  • Base area = 30
    ft^(2)

When you have the base area, you can use the formula below to calculate the volume of the triangular prism:

  • Volume of a triangular prism = Base area * Prism height.
  • Volume of a triangular prism = 30
    ft^(2) * 7
    ft
  • Volume of a triangular prism = 210
    ft^(3)
