To calculate the volume of the triangular planting trough, you would use the formula for the volume of a triangular prism:
Volume = 0.5 x Base x Height x Depth
Base = 1.2 m
Height = 3.5 m
Depth = 0.75 m
Volume = 0.5 x 1.2 x 3.5 x 0.75 = 3.15 cubic m
Therefore, the triangular planting trough will hold 3.15 cubic meters of soil.
