Answer:
The volume of the prism is 27√3/2
Explanation:
* Lets revise the triangular prism properties
- The triangular prism has five faces
- Two bases and three side faces
- The two bases are triangles
- The three side faces are rectangles
- The rule of its volume is Area of its base × its height
* Lets solve the problem
- The triangular prism has two bases which are equilateral triangles
- The length of each side of the triangular base is 3"
- The height of the prism is 6"
∵ The volume of the prism = area of the base × its height
∵ The base is equilateral triangle of side length 3"
- The area of any equilateral triangle is √3/4 s²
∴ The area of the base of the prism = √3/4 × (3)² = 9√3/4
∵ The length of the height of the prism is 6"
∴ The volume of the prism = 9√3/4 × 6 = 27√3/2
* The volume of the prism is 27√3/2
