Question

Alex made a sketch for a homemade soccer goal he plans to build. The goal will be in the shape of a triangular prism. The legs of the right triangles at the sides of his goal measure 4 ft and 8 ft, and the opening along the front is 24 ft. How much space is contained within this goal?

Answer 1

To do this you need to fill in the equation:
`(1)/(2) height*sidelength *width`. So, height = 8 ft, side length = 4 ft, and width = 24 ft. So, plugging in the numbers you get:

`(1)/(2) (8) * 4 * 24` =

`4*4*24` = 384 ft

Hope this helped!
