The expression for the volume of the Prism is 1/3(Base area x Height)
In the given prism
Height = 10 mi
Base is in the shape of right angle triangle
Area of right angle triangle = 1/2 x Base x Height
Area of right angle triangle = 1/2 x 8 x 6
ARea of right angle triangle = 24
Area of base of the prism = 24mi².
Volume of the prism = 1/3 (Base area x Height)
Volume of the prism = 1/3 (24 x 10)
Volume of the prism = 1/3(240)
Volume of the prism = 80mi³.
The volume of prism is 80 mi³.
