So I think it would be 55 because the base times the height = 15 and base length = 40

Answer:

60³

Explanation:

Hi again.

This time we are working with a triangular prism which is a bit trickier than a rectangular prism but it is still pretty easy once you know the formula.

The formula for a triangular prism is :

V = 1/2 x b x h x l

Or in full terms :

Volume = 1/2 x Base x Height x Length

So basically we are going to plug in the base , height, and width like we did before but this time at the end we are going to divide it in half.

So like last time, lets look at what we are given :

Base = 5

Height = 3

Length = 8

And now we put these numbers into the formula :

Volume = 1/2 x Base x Height x Length

Volume = 1/2 x 5 x 3 x 8

Lets save the 1/2 for last and do the others first.

So we can do 5 x 3 and get 15.

Then 15 x 8 and we get 120.

Now the equation is literally :

Volume = 1/2 x 120

(This is the same as 120 / 2 just in multiplication terms)

So lets do this :

120 / 2

=

60

So now we have your answer :

Volume = 60³

(Don't forget the little 3)

Again, I hope this helps!

Any questions or concerns please comment or message me ofc :)
