1. **State the problem:** We need to find the volume of a prism with given dimensions.
2. **Formula for volume of a prism:**
$$\text{Volume} = \text{Base Area} \times \text{Height}$$
3. **Identify the base shape and dimensions:** The base is a triangle with base length 14 ft and height 12 ft (from the dashed vertical segment).
4. **Calculate the area of the triangular base:**
$$\text{Base Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} = \frac{1}{2} \times 14 \times 12 = 7 \times 12 = 84 \text{ ft}^2$$
5. **Identify the prism length (height of the prism):** The prism extends 26 ft in length.
6. **Calculate the volume:**
$$\text{Volume} = \text{Base Area} \times \text{Length} = 84 \times 26 = 2184 \text{ cubic feet}$$
7. **Final answer:**
The volume of the prism is **2184 cubic feet**.
