Answer:

120in^3

Explanation:

Find the diagram attached.

The volume of a triangular prism =
$(base\ area *height)/(3)$

Since the base is a triangle, Base area = 1/2 * base * height

given base of the triangular base = 8in

height of the triangle = 9in

Base area = 1/2 * 8 * 9

Base area = 4*9

Base area = 36in²

Height of the prism = 10in

Volume of the prism =
(36*10)/(3)

Volume of the prism =
12*10

Volume of the prism =
120in^3
