Answer:

Volume of the prism = 1950unit³ (C)

Explanation:

The question is incomplete without the diagram of the oblique prism and its dimension.

Find attached the diagram used in solving the question.

The prism has a rectangular base:

width= 10 units

length = 13 units

The distance between the top and the bottom base = 17 units.

Volume of prism = Area of base × height

Area of base = area of rectangle = Length ×width

= 13× 10

Area of base = 130unit²

To get the height, we would apply Pythagoras theorem

Hypotenuse² = opposite² + adjacent ²

17² = h² + 8²

289 = h² + 64

h² = 289-64 = 225

h = √225

h = 15unit

Volume of the prism = 130 × 15

Volume of the prism = 1950unit³ = 1950 cubic units
