The answer is 34 2/3. To find this you first find the area of the base which is (length x width) divided by 2 which in this case equals 21, then you multiply the base area by the height, 21 x 5, which equals 105, and last you divide that by 3 or multipy by 1/3, so 105/3 equals 34.999 which is can be written in fraction form as 34 2/3

Hope this helps, also sorry if my explanation is confusing

Answer:


105 \: {yd}^(3)

Explanation:

The formula to find the volume of a triangular prism is:


(1)/(2) base \: * \: height \: * length

Therefore we say:


(1)/(2) (7) * 5 *6 \\ = 3.5 * 5 * 6 \\ = 105 \: {yd}^(3)
