Answer:
144 m^3
Step-by-step explanation:
Please find attached the image of the prisms
Volume of a triangular prism = area of the base x height of the prism
Area of the base = 1/2 ( base x height)
the two prisms are similar, thus, the dimensions of the bigger rectangle can be gotten from the ratio of the base of the smaller and bigger triangle
ratio of their dimensions = 6 / 1.5 = 4
the dimensions of the bigger triangle is 4 times that of the smaller triangle
height of the base of the prism = 1.5 x 4 = 6
Height of the prism = 2 x 4 = 8
Area of the base of the prism = (1/2) x 6 x 6 = 18 m^2
Volume of the prism = 18 x 8 = 144 m^3
