Question

Identify the following solids. Then find the volume my answer was wrong Solid: Triangular prism Volume: 108 cm~3 I need to know the right answer. on some of the wrong answers, there was a note You need to look at the base of the shape. Although volume is V=Bh sometimes the B is 1/2bh or b x h. Apply the correct formula to solve for the volume. I am not sure if it applies here?

Answer 1

The given figure is a triangular prism. The formula for determining the volume of a triangular prism is expressed as

Volume = 1/2 * a * x * h

where

a = height of triangular face = 3

c = length of triangular base = 6

h = height of pyramid = 12

Volume = 1/2 * 3 * 6 * 12 = 108
