PLZ HELP!

Find the volume of this right triangular prism.

A. 90cm^3
B. 60cm^3
C. 120cm^3
D. 150cm^3

Answer 1

B. 60cm^3

Explanation:

The volume of a right triangular prism is

V = BH where B is the area of the triangle and H is height

B = 1/2 bh where b =5 and h =8

B = 1/2 *40 = 20

V = (20) * 3

V = 60 cm^3

We need to be careful to do the area of the triangle first
