Question

How many times smaller is the volume of a triangular prism if the height is divided by 4?

Answer 1

The volume of the triangular prism is 4 times smaller than the original triangular prism

Explanation:

we know that

The volume of of the triangular prism is equal to

`V=Bh`

where

B is the area of the triangular base

h is the height of the prism

If the height is divided by 4

then

The new volume is equal to

`V=Bh/4`

therefore

The volume of the triangular prism is 4 times smaller than the original triangular prism
