When finding the volume of a triangular prism, we multiply the area of the base x the height of the prism.

To find the volume of the triangular prism, we need to first calculate the area of the triangular base.
The formula for the area of a triangle is A = 1/2 * base * height.
Plugging in the values, we have:
A = 1/2 * 3cm * 2cm = 3cm2
Next, we multiply the area of the base by the height of the prism to find the volume.
Volume = 3cm2 * 7cm = 21cm3
Therefore, the volume of the triangular prism is 21cm3.
