Answer: "A triangular prism has a height of 15 inches and a base area of 20 square inches. The volume of the prism is 300 cubic inches."

Explanation:

"A triangular prism has a height of 15 inches and a base area of 20 square inches. The volume of the prism is 300 square inches."

"A triangular prism has a height of 15 inches and a base area of 20 square inches. The volume of the prism is 300 square inches."

There is the error, we measure volume in cubic inches.

The writing should read- "A triangular prism has a height of 15 inches and a base area of 20 square inches. The volume of the prism is 300 cubic inches."
