1. 60 in cubed.
2. 36 m cubed.
3. 96 m cubed.
4. 60 yds cubed.
5. 120 in cubed.
Explanation:
Alright, we need to know what the formula is for the volume of a triangular prism. Before that, here is the formula to find the volume of all shapes. Some formulas may be different for cones, spheres, and pyramids, but this is the general formula.
The formula is V=Bh.
V is your volume
B is the area of the base
h is the height of the prism..
The formula for calculating the volume for a triangular prism is 1/2bh times h. 1/2bh is the formula for finding the area of your triangle which is the base shape for a triangular prism. The other h is the height of your prism.
For number 1, they already calculated the area of the base for you, so just multiply that number with the height. 20 times 3 is 60.
That is 60 meters cubed.
Number 2, they haven't calculated the area of the base, so you have to do that. The length of the triangle is 4 and the height of the triangle is 3. Lets find the area of the triangle or the base, Do 4 times 3 which is 12 and divide it by 2 or multiply it by half. it is the same thing. You get 6, and that is the area of your base. Multiply that area by the height of the prism. You get 36 meters cubed. The reason why it is cubed is because meter times meter times meter is meter cubed.
Hope this helps!
