Question

A wooden peg game in the shape of a triangular prism is 2 inches tall. The triangle has a base of 12 inches and a height of 9 inches. Find the volume of the game.

Answer 1

The volume of the game will be given by:
Volume=(base area)×height
base area=1/2×base×height
=1/2×12×9
=54 in²
Therefore the volume will be:
Volume=54×2=108 in³
