Answer:

808.5 cubic meters

Explanation:

Because this is a triangular prism, the base is the triangular shaped ends. To find the volume of this figure, you need to find the area of the triangular base, and then multiply be the length of the prism. You know that the two legs of the triangle (not the hypotenuse) have lengths of 14 and 10.5 meters. Using the formula for the area of a triangle, or
(bh)/(2)=(14\cdot 10.5)/(2)=73.5. Multiplying this by 11, or the length of the prism, you get 808.5 as the final volume. Hope this helps!
