Question

Find the volume of the triangular prism.

A) 4 m3

B) 8 m3

C) 12 m3

D) 20 m3

Answer 1

v=1/2 a(length) b(base) h(height)
V = 1/2 (5m)(4m)(2m)=20 m^3, so d is correct.
Hope Helps:)

Answer 2

first step is to find the area of the triangle on the end:

area of a triangle = 1/2 x base x height:

base = 4m and height = 2m

area = 1/2 x 4 x 2 = 4 square meters

now for volume multiply the are of the triangle by the depth which is 5m

volume = 4 x 5 = 20 cubic meters
the answer is D
