Question

I need help solving the volume of the triangular prism

Answer 1

In general, the volume of a triangular prism is given by the formula below

`\begin{gathered} V=\frac{\text{bhl}}{2} \\ b\to\text{ basis of the triangular base} \\ h\to\text{ height of the triangular base} \\ l\to\text{ height of the prism} \end{gathered}`

Therefore, in our case,

`\begin{gathered} b=9,h=5.2,l=6 \\ \Rightarrow V=(9\cdot5.2\cdot6)/(2)=140.4 \end{gathered}`

The volume of the prism is 140.4cm^3
