Answer:

Variable B is the area of triangular base.

B = 38.5
in^(2).

Variable h is the height of pyramid.

In the given prism, h is 9 inches.

The volume of prism is 346.5
in^(3).

Step-by-step explanation:

Please refer to the attached image for the detailed labeling of all the sides.


\triangle ABC is the triangular base of the prism.

BC is the base of triangular base of the prism.

AP is the height of triangular base.

Area of triangular base is represented by B and is calculated by following formula of area of a triangle.


Area = (1)/(2) * \text{Base}* \text{Height}


\Rightarrow (1)/(2) * 11 * 7\\\Rightarrow 38.5\ in^(2)

Hence, B = 38.5
in^(2).

Height of prism, h = 9 in

h is represented as side BE in the attached image.

It is know that volume of prism is given as :

V = Bh

Putting values of B and h:


V = 38.5 * 9\\\Rightarrow V = 346.5\ in^(3)
