Solution:

~Refer to image~

We know that:


\bullet \ \ \ \text{Volume of right triangular prism} = \text{Area of triangle} * \text{a}


\bullet \ \ \ \text{Area of triangle} = (1)/(2) * \text{Base} * \text{Altitude }

When looking at the triangle, we can tell that:


\bullet \ \ \ \text{Base} = 8 \ \text{ft} \\\\ \bullet \ \ \text{Altitude} = 6 \ \text{ft} \\\\ \bullet \ \ \text{a} = 12 \ \text{ft}

Substitute the base, height, and altitude in the formula:


\bullet \ \ \ \text{Volume of right triangular prism} = \text{Area of triangle} * \text{a}


\bullet \ \ \ \text{Volume of right triangular prism} = \huge{\text{[}(1)/(2) * 8 * 6\huge{\text{]} * 12

Solve for the volume:


\bullet \ \ \ \text{Volume of right triangular prism} = \huge{\text{[}4 * 6\huge{\text{]} * 12


\bullet \ \ \ \text{Volume of right triangular prism} = \huge{\text{[}24\huge{\text{]} * 12


\bullet \ \ \ \boxed{\text{Volume of right triangular prism} = 288 \ \text{ft}^(3) }
