Question

Look at the triangular prism. Work out the volume of the prism.

Answer 1

See explanation

Explanation:

The question has missing details, as the diagram of the prism is not shown.

However, I'll solve using a general rule.

The volume of a triangular prism is:

`Volume = (1)/(2)* b * h * l`

Where

`b = base`

`h = height`

`l = length`

Take for instance:

`b = 20cm`

`h = 10cm`

`l = 5cm`

The volume is:

`Volume = (1)/(2) * 20cm * 10cm * 5cm`

`Volume = 10cm * 10cm * 5cm`

`Volume = 500cm^3`

Another instance (see attachment).

From the attachment:

`b = 4.5cm`

`h = 5cm`

`l = 8cm`

The volume is:

`Volume = (1)/(2) * 4.5cm * 5cm * 8cm`

`Volume = 2.25cm * 5cm * 8cm`

`Volume = 90cm^3`
