To find the value of \( d \) in the triangular prism with a volume of 810 cubic yards, we can use the formula for the volume of a triangular prism:
\[
V = \frac{1}{2} \times b \times h \times l
\]
where:
- \( V \) is the volume of the prism,
- \( b \) is the base of the triangle,
- \( h \) is the height of the triangle,
- \( l \) is the length of the prism.
Assuming \( d \) represents either the base \( b \) or the height \( h \) of the triangle, we need more information to determine the exact value of \( d \).
However, let's assume \( d \) is one of the dimensions of the triangular base (either base or height) and we have the other dimension given.
Let's consider two scenarios:
**Scenario 1:** Assuming \( d \) is the height of the triangular base (\( h = d \)).
If the base of the triangle (\( b \)) is known (e.g., 18 yd):
\[
V = \frac{1}{2} \times b \times h \times l = 810
\]
\[
\frac{1}{2} \times 18 \times d \times l = 810
\]
To fully solve for \( d \), we need the length \( l \) of the prism.
**Scenario 2:** If \( l \) is also provided, for example, if the length \( l \) is 10 yards:
Substituting \( b = 18 \) yd and \( l = 10 \) yd:
\[
\frac{1}{2} \times 18 \times d \times 10 = 810
\]
Calculating:
\[
90d = 810
\]
\[
d = \frac{810}{90} = 9 \, \text{yd}
\]
Since none of the parameters seem to directly lead to \( d \) being 18 yd or 10 yd based on the given scenario without specific assumptions, please double-check any additional dimensions provided. If \( d \) represents a specific dimension inside your problem context including base and length conditions, please clarify for enhanced calculations.
In conclusion based on provided formulas:
\[
d = 9 \, \text{yd}
\]
