Question

7th grade sac practice problems look at the triangular prism below. each triangular face of the prism has a base of 3 centimeter and a height of 4 cm. the length of the prism is 12 cm.

What is the volume, in cm3, of this triangular prism?

Answer 1

72cm³

Explanation:

Base of the triangular face =3 cm.

Height of the triangular face = 4 cm.

Length of the prism = 12 cm.

Volume of a Prism= Base Area X. length

The base of a triangle prism is a triangle, therefore:

Volume of a Triangular Prism= ½bh X Length

=½ X 3 X 4 X 12

=½ X 144

=72cm³

Volume of the triangular Prism= 72cm³
