Question

Find the volume of the triangular prism. Write your answer as the exact decimal.

Answer 1

Given:

height = 7m

base = 9m

length = 29m

Solution

The formula for the volume (V) of a triangular prism:

`V\text{ = base area }*\text{length of prism}`

Substituting the given parameters and simplifying:

`\begin{gathered} V\text{ = }(1)/(2)\text{ }*\text{ 7 }*\text{ 9 }*\text{ 29} \\ =913.5m^3 \end{gathered}`

The volume of the triangular prism is 913.5 cubic meters
