=================================================================

Explanation:

Imagine rotating the figure so that the triangular face is flat on the ground. This makes the triangular faces to be the floor and ceiling of this room.

The floor is a triangle with base 24 meters and height 7 meters. The floor area is base*height/2 = 24*7/2 = 84 square meters.

Multiply this floor area with the height of the room (22 m) to get the volume of the room.

volume = (floor area)*(height) = 84*22 = 1848 cubic meters
