Question

The triangular base of a skateboard ramp has an area of 2.3 square meters. The height of the ramp is 1.2 meters. Find the volume of the triangular prism

Answer 1

The volume of the triangular prism is
`2.76\ m^(3)`

Explanation:

we know that

The volume 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

In this problem we have

`B=2.3\ m^(2)`

`H=1.2\ m`

substitute the values

`V=(2.3)(1.2)=2.76\ m^(3)`
