Question

The volume of this triangular prism is 26.88 cubic millimeters. What is the value of g?

Answer 1

The volume of a triangular prism is:

`V=Bh`

where B is the area of the base, in this case the area of the base is:

`B=(1)/(2)\cdot2.8\cdot4.8=6.72`

Plugging the value of the volume and the area of the base we have:

`\begin{gathered} 26.88=6.72h \\ h=(26.88)/(6.72) \\ h=4 \end{gathered}`

Therefore g is 4 mm. (since h and g are the same)
