Question

I NEED HELP, I'VE BEEN STUCK ON THIS...Find the volume of this triangular prism. Enter only the numerical part of your answer in square units.

Answer 1

[see below]

Explanation:

Volume of a triangular prism is:
`V=(1)/(2)bhl`

We are given the base of 5, the length of 12, and the height of 8. All measurements are in meters.

`V=(1)/(2)(5*12*8)\\\\V=(1)/(2)(480)\\\\V=240`

The volume of the prism should be 240 square meters.

Answer 2

V = 240 m^3

Explanation:

The volume of a triangular prism is

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

B = the area of the triangular base

B = 1/2 bh

B = 1/2 *5*12

B = 30 m^2

The volume is

V = 30 * 8

V = 240 m^3
