Given:

Hypotenuse of base triangle = 3√2 cm

Height of prism = 12 cm

Formula used:

In a right angled triangle;

(Hypotenuse)2 = (Base)2 + (Height)2 

Area of triangle = (1/2) × Base × Height

Volume of Prism = Area of base × Height

Calculation:

In Isoceles triangle; two sides are equal.

Let the equal sides = a cm

(3√2)2 = a2 + a2

⇒ 18 = 2a2

⇒ a2 = 9 cm2

⇒ a = 3 cm

Area of triangular base = (1/2) × 3 × 3

⇒ 9/2 cm2

Volume of Prism = 12 × (9/2) cm3

⇒ 54 cm3

∴ The volume of prism is 54 cm3.
