To find the volume of a triangular prism, we can use the equation:

V = 1/2 • b • h • l

where b is the base of the triangle, h is height of the triangle, and l is the length of the side of the prism.

For this problem:

b = 13ft
h = 15ft
l = 2ft

Now we can plug this into our volume equation:

V = 1/2 • 13ft • 15ft • 2ft

V = 195 ft cubed

The volume of this prism is 195 ft cubed.

Hope this helps!
