Answer:

264 yds cubed

Explanation:

The volume of a triangular prism is V=Bh

Calculating the base area:

Since the base is a triangle, the formula for it's area would be 1/2bh

When you plug in the values, it would be...

A=1/2(8x6)=1/2(48)=24

Calculating the volume:

Now we take the volume formula of V=Bh. We know that B=24 yards squared. We are also given that the height of the prism is 11 yd.

Now, when we plug in the values, we get....

V=(24)(11)=264 yds cubed.
