Question

What is the volume of the following prism?this is a prism with a triangular base. The width of the triangle is 5 meters and the height of the triangle is 2 meters. The height of the prism is 15 meters.A. 150 m³B. 50 m³C. 225 m³D. 75 m³

Answer 1

Okay, here we have this:

Considering the provided information, we are going to calculate the requested volume, so we obtain the following:

Then we will substitute in the following formula for the volume of a triangular prism:

Volume of the prism = Area of the triangle * Height of the prism

Volume of the prism = (5m*2m)/2 * Height of the prism

Volume of the prism = (10m^2)/2 * 15m

Volume of the prism = (5m^2) * 15m

Volume of the prism = (5m^2) * 15m
