1. **State the problem:** Calculate the volume of a triangular prism with a triangular base having sides 5 cm and 9 cm, height 6 cm, and prism length 11 cm.
2. **Formula for volume of a triangular prism:**
$$\text{Volume} = \text{Area of triangular base} \times \text{Length of prism}$$
3. **Calculate the area of the triangular base:**
The area of a triangle is given by:
$$\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}$$
Here, base = 9 cm and height = 6 cm.
4. **Calculate the area:**
$$\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 9 \times 6 = \frac{1}{2} \times 54 = 27 \text{ cm}^2$$
5. **Calculate the volume:**
Length of prism = 11 cm
$$\text{Volume} = 27 \times 11 = 297 \text{ cm}^3$$
6. **Final answer:**
The volume of the triangular prism is **297 cubic centimeters**.
