    First, you must find the original volume of the prism by applying the following formula:

    V1=HxB

    V1 is the original volume of the prism.

    H is the height of the prism (H=10 ft).

    B is the base are of the prism (B=5 ft2)

    So, the original volume is:

    V1=HxB

    V1 = (10 ft) (5 ft2)

    V1=50 ft2

    When the prism is dilated by a factor of 6/5, its volume is:

    V2 = (V1) * (6/5) ^3

    V2 = (50 ft³) * (6/5) ^3

    V2 = 86.4 ft³

    What is the volume of the dilated prism?

    The answer is: 86.4 ft³
