The correct answer is 63.75 cubic meters.
To find the volume of a triangular prism, you can use the formula V = (1/2) * base * height * length.
In this case, the base is the triangle with dimensions of 8.5m (length) and 3m (width), so the area of the base triangle is (1/2) * 8.5m * 3m = 12.75 square meters.
Then, multiply the area of the base by the height of the prism (5m) to get the volume: 12.75 square meters * 5m = 63.75 cubic meters.
Therefore, the volume of the triangular prism is 63.75 cubic meters.
