Question

Find the volume of the triangular prism.
_____ cubic centimeters​

Answer 1

Answer: 96 cubic centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

The hint pretty much gives away the entire answer. You just need to compute
`(4 * 6)/(2) * 8` and you should get 96 cm^3

The portion
`(4 * 6)/(2)` represents the area of the triangular face (it has base = 6 and height = 4). Recall that base*height/2 is the area of any triangle. The area of the triangle is (4*6)/2 = 24/2 = 12 cm^2.

Once you know the base face area, you multiply that by the depth of the prism which is 8 cm. So we get 12*8 = 96 cm^3
