To calculate the volume of a dilated right triangular prism, we need to understand how dilation affects its volume.

When a three-dimensional object is dilated by a scale factor of \( k \), the volume of the dilated object is multiplied by \( k^3 \).

Let's denote the original volume of the triangular prism as \( V \). If the scale factor of the dilation is 3, then the volume of the dilated prism \( V' \) can be calculated as follows:

\[
V' = k^3 \times V = 3^3 \times V = 27 \times V
\]

Thus, the volume of the dilated prism is 27 times the volume of the original prism.

Without knowing the original volume \( V \) of the prism, we cannot provide a specific numerical answer in cm³.

If you provide the original volume, I can help calculate the new volume!
