To find the volume of the triangular prism, we use the formula for the volume of a prism:

\[
V = \text{Base Area} \times \text{Height (Length of the prism)}
\]

### Step 1: Find the area of the triangular base
The triangular base has a height of 8 meters and a base of 6 meters, as shown in the diagram. The formula for the area of a triangle is:

\[
A = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{Base} \times \text{Height}
\]

Substituting the given values:

\[
A = \frac{1}{2} \times 6 \, \text{m} \times 8 \, \text{m} = 24 \, \text{m}^2
\]

### Step 2: Multiply the base area by the length of the prism
The length of the prism is 9 meters. Using the volume formula:

\[
V = 24 \, \text{m}^2 \times 9 \, \text{m} = 216 \, \text{m}^3
\]

Thus, the volume of the triangular prism is **216 cubic meters**.
