Answer:

192in^3

Step-by-step explanation

Volume of a triangular prism = Base area * Height of prism

Since the base is triangular shaped, then;

Base Area = 1/2 * base * height

BAse Area = 1/2 * 8 * 4

Base Area = 8 * 2

Base Area = 16m^2

Height of prism = 12m

Volume of the prism = 16 * 12

Volume of the prism = 192m^2

Hence the volume of the right triangular prism is 192in^3
