Answer:


\text { The volume }=288 \mathrm{ft}^(3)

Explanation:

let V be the volume of the prism

B The area of the base which is a triangle

h is the height of the prism

______

Formula:

V = B × h

________


\begin{aligned}B &=(9 * 4)/(2) \\&=(36)/(2) \\&=18\end{aligned}

h = 16

Now we calculate:


\begin{aligned}V &=B * h \\&=18 * 16 \\&=288\end{aligned}
