Question

1) A triangular prism has a base measuring 8 inches and a side measuring 5

inches. It has a depth of 3 inches. What is the volume?*
O
40 cubic inches
O 20 cubic inches
O 24 cubic inches
60 cubic inches

Answer 1

24 cubic inches

Explanation:

Whenever you are finding the volume you have to multiply by two plus a number times two. For example, since there is two depths, you have to multiply 3 by 2 plus the next number. Then, since there is two sides, you multiply 5 by 2 plus the next number. Finally, since there is only one base, you don't have to multiply by two.

(3×2)+(5×2)+8=24

Hope I explained well enough for you to understand.
