Question

this triangular prism has a length of 20 centimeters, an end base of 6 centimeters and an end height of 8 centimeters. what is the volume of this prism?

Answer 1

The volume of the triangular prism is 480 cm³.

Explanation:

The volume of a triangular prism is:

`V=(1)/(2)* \text{b}* \text{h}* \text{l}`

Here,

b = base

h = height

l = length

The information provided is:

b = 6 cm

h = 8 cm

l = 20 cm

Compute the volume of the triangular prism as follows:

`V=(1)/(2)* \text{b}* \text{h}* \text{l}`

`=(1)/(2)* 6* 8* 20\\\\=6* 8* 10\\\\=480\ \text{cm}^(3)`

Thus, the volume of the triangular prism is 480 cm³.
