Question

What is the volume?

___ cubic inches

Answer 1

224 in.^3

Explanation:

The volume of a prism is the area of the base (A) multiplied by the height of the prism (h).

volume = Ah

The base is a triangle, so its area is bh/2,

where b = base of the triangle, h = height of the triangle

The area of the base is

bh/2 = (4 in. * 7 in.)/2 = 14 in.^2

The volume is:

volume = Ah = 14 in.^2 * 16 in. = 224 in.^3

Answer 2

74.67 cubic inches

Explanation:

We can use this formula to find the volume:

1/3ah

A means area of the base

h means the height

Find the area of the base:

A = 1/2bh

1/2(4)(7) = 14

Now we can find the volume:

1/3(14)(16)

16 * 14 = 224

224/3 = 74.67

Therefore, the volume would be 74.67 cubic inches.
