Q2

Solve for the height (h) of this
triangular prism if the volume is 1080.
The volume of a triangular prism is V =
(B)(h), where B is the area of the
triangle. Remember the area of a
triangle is 1/2(b)(h). BE CAREFUL
BECAUSE THERE ARE TWO HEIGHTS,
ONE FOR THE TRIANGLE AND ONE
FOR THE TRIANGULAR PRISM. *
A

Answer 1

(C)18 Units

Explanation:

Volume of a Triangular Prism =Base Area X Height

The base is a right triangle of base 8 Units and Height 15 Units.

Area of the Triangle =0.5 x 8 x 15 =60 Square Units

Base Area, B=60 Square Units

Since Volume of the Triangular Prism=1080

1080=60h

Divide both sides by 60

Height of the Prism=18 Units
