Answer:

The volume of this triangular prism is 243 cubic ft

Explanation:

A triangular prism whose length is
units and whose triangular cross- section has base b unit and height h units.

Then, the Volume of the triangular prism(V) in cubic unit is given by:

In the given figure, we have the length

=9 ft , base(b)= 6 ft

and height (h) = 9 ft

then, volume of triangular prism for the given figure is,

V=(1)/(2)bhl

or
$V=(1)/(2)\cdot 6 \cdot 9 \cdot 9$ cubic ft

Simplify:

$V=3\cdot 9\cdot 9 ft^3$
=243 ft^3

Therefore, the volume of this triangular prism is 243 cubic ft.
