Answer:

Volume = 150 cubic yards

Explanation:

The basic formula for volume is:

Volume = area of base * height

The image of hexagonal prism is shown attached.

If the base is in different shape, we can use different formula (for that shape the base is in) and find area of base.

But, this problem explicitly gives

Area of Base = 15

Height = 10

We simply substitute in volume formula to find the volume. Shown below:

Volume = Area of Base * Height

Volume = 15 * 10

Volume = 150 cubic yards
