Question

Find the volume of the triangular prism

Answer 1

V = 5280 in^3

Explanation:

The volume is found by

V = Bh where B is the area of the base and h is the height

first we need to find the area of the base

The base is the triangle

We need to find the base dimension for the triangle

34^2 = 16^2 + b^2

34^2 -16^2 = b^2

900 = b^2

30 =b

B = 1/2 bh

= 1/2 (30) *16

B =240

V = Bh

V = 240 * 22

V = 5280 in^3
