    Answer:C. 192.5 in^3

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the next formula:

    Volume of a triangular prism = area of triangular base x height of the prism

    Area of triangular base = base x height of the triangle base x 1/2

    Replacing with the values given:

    V = 11 x 5 x 1/2 x7

    V = 192.2 in^3

    In conclusion, the correct option is C. 192.5 in^3.
