Question

13. The diagram shows the top view of a prism that has a height of 17.5 cm. Which of the following is the best approximation of the volume of the prism?

A. 1414 cm3.
     
B. 546 cm3.
       
C.315 cm3.
     
D. 273 cm3

Answer 1

I think the answer is C.

Answer 2

(C)

Explanation:

It is given that a prism that has a height of 17.5 cm and from the figure, the length and width of the given prism are equal that is equal to 6cm.

Then, the volume of prism=
`(1)/(2){*}length{*}width{*}height`

Substituting the values, we get

`V=(1)/(2){*}6{*}6{*}117.5`

`V=3{*}6{*}17.5`

`V=315cm^3`

Thus, option C is correct.
