Question

Answer choices:
A. 98
B. 72
C. 44
D. 42

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

The volume (V) of the triangular prism is calculated as

V = Bh ( B is the area of the triangular base and h the height )

B =
`(1)/(2)` bh

Here b = 8 and h = 6 ( perpendicular legs )

B =
`(1)/(2)` × 8 × 6 = 4 × 6 = 24 ft² , then

V = 24 × 3 = 72 ft³ → B
