Question

What is the volume of the figure, in cubic inches?

Answer 1

The answer you should be getting is 32 inches cubed.

Answer 2

Explanation:

1) Understand the formula for volume

The formula to find volume is: area of cross section x height

In this case the cross section is the area of the triangular side and the height is 2 inches

2) Work out the volume

Area of cross section:
`(8x4)/(2)` = 16

16 x 2 = 32 inches

This means our answer is 32 inches³

Hope this helps, have a lovely day! :)
