The volume of a triangular prism is calculated by multiplying the area of the triangle base by the height of the prism.
Given that the base of the prism is a triangle with a base of 7 meters and a height of 9 meters, the area of the base is 0.5 * 7 * 9 = 31.5 square meters.
Multiplying this area by the height of the prism (5 meters) gives us the volume:
31.5 * 5 = 157.5 cubic meters.
None of the provided answers match the correct volume, which is 157.5 cubic meters.
