Lets just say it is an irregular prism...so that would be 140 x 6 = 840...

Answer 6

Sorry mate! Some times questions that don't give enough information is kinda hard to answer...I believe this is how you do it though!

Answer 7

You take the area of the base, times the height, in all cases of prisms.
Whether its a triangle prism or rectangular prism or a cylinder even (not quite a prism but its the same concept).
