Yes!
The volume of a prism is found by multiplying the area of the base (A) by the height of the prism (h). V = Ah
Since your prism is a triangular prism you would multiply the area of the triangular base by the prism's height.
The area of the triangular base is:
where; b = the length of the base of the triangle (b = 3) and h = the triangle's height (h = 4).

sq.in.
Now you can find the volume using the initial formula V = Ah

cu.in.
