Answer:

B

Explanation:

The face of the prism is the right triangle closest to us.

The area of the right triangle is 15 * 8 = 120 / 2 = 60 The general formula for a triangle's area is 1/2 * B * h.

B = 8

h = 15

The volume in general is B*h.

The height in this case is 10 (the height in this case is perpendicular to the surface containing the right triangle).

Volume = B * h

Volume =60 * 10

Volume = 600
