Question

The dimensions of a triangular prism are shown in the diagram.

What is the volume of the triangular prism in cubic centimeters?

Answer 1

Volume of triangular prism = Area of △ x length

→ Area of triangle =
`(1)/(2)` × base × height

→ Area of triangle =
`(1)/(2) * 8 * 6 = 24 cm²`

Volume of the prism = 24 x 13 = 312 cm³

Answer 2

312 cm³

Explanation:

volume of triangular prism = area of triangle x length

area of triangle = 1/2 x base x height

⇒ area of triangle = 1/2 x 8 x 6 = 24 cm²

Therefore, volume of the prism = 24 x 13 = 312 cm³
