Answer:

159 cubic km.

Explanation:

The given figure is a triangular prism. To calculate the volume, we use the formula below:


Volume,V=Base\;Area* Length

First, the base area is calculated:

• The base of the Triangular Cross-section = 10 km

,

• Perpendicular Height = 5.3 km


Base\;Area=(1)/(2)*10*5.3=26.5\;km^2

The length of the prism = 6 km

Therefore, the volume:


V=26.5*6=159\;km^3

The volume of the figure is 159 cubic km.
