The formula to find the volume of a triangular prism is the following:


V=(1)/(2)h\cdot b\cdot w

where:

h - height

b - base length

w - width

for this problem:

h = 8 cm

b = 5 cm

w = 7 cm

then


V=(1)/(2)8\cdot5\cdot7

solving this, we obtain that the volume of the triangular prism is 140 cm^3 or cubic centimeters
