Answer:

$h=10\ yd$

Explanation:

we know that

The volume of the triangular prism of the figure is equal to

V=Bh

where

B is the area of the triangular base

h is the height of the triangular prism

Find the value of B

$B=(1)/(2)(6)(3)=9\ yd^(2)$

we have that

$V=90\ yd^(3)$

substitute the values and solve for h

90=9h

$h=90/9=10\ yd$
