Answer:

Prism A

Explanation:

✔️Volume of triangular prism (Prism A) = ½×bhl

b = 7 m

h = 9 m

l = 4 m

Volume of Prism A = ½ × 7 × 9 × 4

Volume of Prism A = 126 m³

✔️Volume of rectangular prism (Prism B) = L × W × H

L = 8 m

W = 2 m

H = 8 m

Volume of Prism B = 8 × 2 × 8 = 128 m³

✔️Prism A has the least volume
