Answer: V = 2527.2 in^3
Explanation:
V = Bh
that is, Volume = base area x height
the base area is the hexagon, and the height is given as 12.
Think of dividing the hexagon into 6 equal triangles, with height 7.8
so the area of all 6 triangles, (effectively the area of the hexagon), will be:
6(0.5 x 9 x 7.8) = 210.6 in^2
multiply this by the height to get the volume:
210.6 x 12 = 2527.2 in^3
thats it!
V = 2527.2 in^3
