Answer: 3000cm3

To find the area you need to find the area of the triangle and multiply that by the height of the prism.

The area of the triangle is

.5*12*10 = 60

And the height is .5m = 50cm

So the area will be

60*50 = 3000

Hello!

Answer:


\boxed{ \bf The~volume~of~the~triangular~prism~is~3,000~cm^3}

_____________________________________________________

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll need the formula for the volume of a triangular prism to solve this. The formula is: b × h × l ÷ 2

This simply means that you have to multiply the base by the height and length, and divide all of that by 2.

Base = 10 cm

Height = 12 cm

Length = 50 cm

(I converted the 0.5 m to cm. It's 50 cm)

Substitute these values into the formula and solve:

v = 10 × 12 × 50 ÷ 2

v = 6,000 ÷ 2

v = 3,000 cm³

Have a fabulous day! :)
