Answer:

225 cm³

Explanation:

Area of cross-section × length = Volume of a triangular prism

Area of cross-section is the area of the triangle section.

Area of cross section:

5 × 6 × 0.5

30 × 0.5

= 15

Calculate volume:

15 × length

15 × 15

= 225

Answer:

V = 225 cm²

Explanation:

The volume of a prism is the product of the base's area and the height

the base of this prism is triangular

the area of a triangle is given by the formula :

  • A =
    (b*h)/(2)

b is the base(6cm) and h the height (5cm)

  • A =
    (5*6)/(2)
  • A = 15 cm²

So the volume is

  • V = 15*A
  • V = 15*15
  • V = 225 cm²
