Question

A cylinder with a 2 centimeter diameter is drilled through the triangle prism shown on the left. Find the volume of the prism.

Answer 1

The volume of the prism v is
`248.5cm^3`

Explanation:

Given that a cylinder with a 2 cm diameter is drilled through the triangle prism.

To find the volume of the prism :

From the figure the volume remains stable for the prism as the hole was drilled.And the volume of a cylinder =
`87.92cm^3`

We can show the drilled space with v and p for prism V

v= 248.5 - 87.92 + 87.92

= 248.5p

∴ The volume of the prism v is
`248.5cm^3`
