Question

What is the volume of the following prism?

A. 96 in³
B. 480 in³
C. 48 in³
D. 108 in³

Answer 1

C. Vol = 48 in³

Explanation:

Vol = base area of a triangle x height.

Vol = ( 1/2 * 3 * 4 ) x 8

Vol = 48 in³

Answer 2

C

Explanation:

To find the volume, we can multiply the area of the base by the height. The base is a triangle so its area is (4 * 3) / 2 = 6 and the height is 8 so the volume is 6 * 8 = 48 in³.
