Quick brain for first and 5 stars What steps should be taken to calculate the volume of the right triangular prism? Select three options.

A triangular prism. The triangular base has a base of 8 meters and height of 14 meters. The height of the prism is 7 meters.
Use the formula A = one-half b h to find the area of the base.
Use the formula A = b h to find the area of the base.
The area of the base, A, is One-half (7) (8) = 28 meters squared.
The area of the base, A, is One-half (8) (14) = 56 meters squared.
The volume of the prism, V is (56) (7) = 392 meters cubed.

Answer:

- Use the formula A = one-half b h to find the area of the base.

- The area of the base, A, is One-half (8) (14) = 56 meters squared.

- The volume of the prism, V is (56) (7) = 392 meters cubed

Explanation:

To find the volume of right triangular prism, the following steps should be followed:

The formula bfor calculating the volume = Base Area × Height.

Step 1:

- Use the formula A = one-half b h to find the area of the base.

This formula of a triangle bus used because the base of a triangular prism is triangular in nature.

b is the base of the triangle

h is the height of the triangle

Step 2:

Given base if triangle = 8m

Height of triangle = 14m

We substitute this values into the formula of the base area to have the second step:

Base area = 1/2(8)(14) = 56m²

- The area of the base, A, is One-half (8) (14) = 56 meters squared.

Step 3:

Then we calculate the volume if the prism where height of the prism is 8m

volume of the prism = 56 × 7

= 392m³.

This gives us the final step

- The volume of the prism, V is (56) (7) = 392 meters cubed
