Question

The base of a right prism is a right triangle. The lengths of the legs of the right triangle are 4 centimeters and 8 centimeters. The height of the prism is 5 centimeters. What is the volume of the prism?

Answer 1

Step 1:

In this question, we are given the following:

Step 2:

The details of the solution are:

Triangular prism formula:

`\text{Volume of Right Triangular prism = }(1)/(2)X\text{ a X b x h}`

, where b is the length of the base of the triangle, h is the height of the triangle and length is prism length.

where:

`\begin{gathered} a\text{ = 4 cm} \\ b\text{ = 8 cm} \\ h\text{ = 5cm} \end{gathered}`
`\text{Volume of the prism = }(1)/(2)X4X8X5=80cm^3`

CONCLUSION:

The volume of the prism =

`80cm^{3\text{ }}(OPTION\text{ A)}`
