Answer:

Correct answer: V = 55.36 cm³

Explanation:

Given:

a = 4 cm edge of the bases

H = 8 cm the height of the prism

Area of the base is equilateral triangle which area is:

B = a² · √3 / 4 = 4² · 1.73 / 4 = 16 · 1.73 / 4 = 6.92 cm²

Volume of the prism is:

V = B · H = 6.92 · 8 = 55.36 cm³

V = 55.36 cm³

God is with you!!!
