D. 255 cubic meters

3 answers

To find the volume of a triangular prism, you can use the formula:

Volume = Area of base x Height

In this case, the base of the prism is a triangle, so you need to find the area of the triangle first, then multiply by the height of the prism.

Let's assume the base of the triangle has a length of 10 meters and a height of 8 meters, and the height of the prism is 5 meters.

First, find the area of the base triangle:
Area = 1/2 x base x height
Area = 1/2 x 10 x 8
Area = 40 square meters

Now, multiply the area of the base by the height of the prism to find the volume:
Volume = 40 x 5
Volume = 200 cubic meters

Therefore, the correct answer is not listed, but the correct volume of the triangular prism would be 200 cubic meters.
