Answer:

153.6 mm³

Explanation:

The volume of a prism is given by the formula ...

V = Bh . . . . . . where B is the area of the base, and h is the height

The area of the triangular base is given by the formula ...

A = 1/2bh . . . . where b and h are the base and height of the triangle

For a right triangle, the lengths of the legs can be used for the base and height.

The base area is ...

A = (1/2)(6 mm)(8 mm) = 24 mm²

Then the volume is ...

V = (24 mm²)(6.4 mm) = 153.6 mm³
