Answer 1

Given:

The base of the prism is a right triangle with legs 1 m and 2 m.

The height of the prism is 17 m.

To find:

The volume of the given prism.

Solution:

The area of a triangle is:

`Area=(1)/(2)* base* height`

So, the area of base of the prism is:

`Area=(1)/(2)* 1* 2`

`Area=1`

Now, the volume of the prism is:

`V=Bh`

Where, B is the base area and h is the height of the prism.

Substituting
`B=1,h=17`, we get

`V=(1)(17)`

`V=17`

The volume of the prism is 17 cubic m. Therefore, the correct option is (d).
