Question

The figure below is made of two identical triangular prisms. What is the volume of the figure?

Answer 1

300 in^3


This answer isn’t mine sorry

Answer 2

300 in³

Explanation:

The volume (V) of a triangular prism is

V = Al ( A is the area of the triangular face and l is the length )

A =
`(1)/(2)` bh ( b is the base and h the height )

Here b = 5 and h = 6 , thus

A =
`(1)/(2)` × 5 × 6 = 15 in², so

V = 15 × 10 = 150 in³

Since the triangular prisms are identical, then volume of figure is

V = 2 × 150 in³ = 300 in³
