Question

Which equation can be used to find the volume of this solid?

A triangular prism. The triangular base has a base of 7 inches and height of 6 inches. The height of the prism is 8 inches.
V = StartFraction 7 + 6 over 2 EndFraction times 8
V = StartFraction 7 + 6 + 8 over 2 EndFraction
V = StartFraction 7 times 6 over 2 EndFraction times 8
V = StartFraction 7 times 6 over 2 EndFraction + 8

Answer 2

V = StartFraction 7 times 6 over 2 EndFraction times 8

Explanation:

Volume of a triangular prism is expressed as V = Base area × Height

Base area = area of the triangle = 1/2 × base × height

If the triangular base has a base of 7 inches and height of 6 inches.

The height of the prism is 8 inches.

Base area = 1/2 × 7 × 6

Base area = (7×6)/2

Height = 8

V = (7×6)/2 × 8

The right option is V = StartFraction 7 times 6 over 2 EndFraction times 8
