Question

a wheelchair ramp is in the shape of a triangular prism it has a base area of 37.4 square yards and a height of 5 yards find the volume of the ramp.

Answer 1

The volume of the ramp is
`187\ yd^(3)`

Explanation:

we know that

The volume of the triangular prism (ramp) is equal to

`V=BH`

where

B is the area of the triangular base of the prism

H is the height of the prism

we have

`B=37.4\ yd^(2)`

`H=5\ yd`

substitute the values

`V=37.4(5)=187\ yd^(3)`
