Question

If the volume of the right prism shown is 27 ft3, then h = __feet.

Answer 1

h=6

Explanation:

To find the volume of a right angle prism-

Find area of cross-section, in this case an isoscles triangle so we know that both of the parallel lines are 3ft

To find the area of the cross-section, do:

3 x 3 = 9

9 ÷ 2 = 4.5 (Area of cross-section)

Since we don't know the length of h, we need do:

27^3 ÷ 4.5 = 6

Therefore 6 is h

Hope I explained it okay:)
