Let's see the given measurements on the triangular prism.
The base of the prism is a right triangle. The legs of this triangle are a= 7meters and b= 11 meters long. Therefore we can calculate the area B of the base using the formula for area of a triangle.
B = 1/2 a b
Let's find the area of the base.
The volume of a triangular prism can be calculated using the following formula. Here B is the area of the base and h is the height of the prism.
V= Bh
We are given that h= 14 and we already calculated the area of the base of the prism, B= 38.5. Now we have enough information to calculate the value of V.
