tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

The volume of the prism is 27 cubic inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate the volume of the given prism, we need to apply the correct formula. The volume of the wedge prism is given by the following formula:

$Volume = \frac{1}{2}*b*h*l$

Applying the data from the problem on the equation above, we have:

$Volume = \frac{1}{2}*6*4.5*2\\Volume = 6*4.5\\Volume = 27$

The volume of the prism is 27 cubic inches.
