Question

A trap for insects is in the shape of a triangular prism. The area of the base is 4.5 in2 and the height of the prism is 3 in. What is the volume of this trap? The volume of the trap is in3

Answer 1

`\text{Volume}=13.5in^3`

Explanation:

The area of the volume is represented by the multiplication of the area of the base by the height:

`\text{Volume}=\text{Area}\cdot\text{height}`

Then, the volume of the trap is:

`\begin{gathered} \text{Volume}=4.5\cdot3 \\ \text{Volume}=13.5in^3 \end{gathered}`
