Answer:

25.98units³

Explanation:

Area of the triangular prism = Base Area * Height of the pyramid

A = BH/3

Get the area of the triangle

Area of the triangle = 1/2 Base * height

Base of the triangle = 5

height = √5²-2.5²

h = √25-6.25

h = √18.75

h = 4.33

Area of the triangle = 1/2 * 4.33 * 5

Area of the triangle = 10.82

Base area = 10.82

Get the area of the triangular pyramid

Area of the triangular pyramid = 10.82*7.2/3

Area of the triangular pyramid = 25.98units³

Hence the area triangular pyramid is 25.98units³
