Given the figure of a triangular prism.

We will find the volume of the prism using the following formula:


V=B*h

Where B is the area of the triangular base and h is the height of the prism.

As shown the triangular base has an area = B = 0.5 * 10 * 6 = 30 in²

And the height of the prism = h = 15 in

So, the volume will be:


V=B*h=30*15=450\text{ }in^3

So, the answer will be V = 450 in³
