Question

the base of a triangle is 10 CM. The height of the triangle is 12 CM. The length of the prism is 40 CM. Work out the volume of the prism

Answer 1

Volume of a triangular prism = area times length. The area of a triangle follows the equation
`(1)/(2) base*height`. We substitute in the values of base=12cm, length=40cm into the equation to get
`(1)/(2)(12)*(40)=240cm^2`. We know that the volume = area times length. Substitute the values of Area = 240 and Length = 40 into the equation to get
`240*40=9600`. Therefore the volume of the triangular prism =
`9600cm^3`.
