Answer:
Volume of Triangular Prism: 280 ft^3; Option B
Step-by-step explanation:
~ In order to find the cubic feet required to fill this object, we would apply a volume formula to the triangular prism, in other words: Base * height ~
1. The following dimensions of the triangular Base is 7 feet by 5 feet, 7 being the height of this Base and 5 being the base of the Base. Now let us apply the area of a triangle formula: 1/2 * base * height ⇒ 1/2 * 5 feet * 7 feet ⇒ 17.5 ft^2
2. Knowing the Base of the triangular prism, we can find the volume through multiplication of it's general height, which is 16 feet: 17.5 ft^2 * 16 ft ⇒ Volume of Triangular Prism: 280 ft^3
