Question

The base of a bicycle ramp has an area of 4 square feet. The ramp is a triangular prism. If the ramp has a height of 2 1/2 feet, what is the volume of the ramp?

Answer 1

Explanation:

In general:

Volume = (the area of the base of the figure) times (the figure's height)

Here, the area of the base is 4 square feet, the height is 2 1/2 foot = 5/2 foot

Our Volume is then:

4 square feet * 5/2 foot = 10 cubic feet
