Question

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

6 in.
14 in.
12 in
8 in
14 in.
7 in.

Answer 1

Answer: 896 ci

Explanation:

Answer 2

896 in.^3

Explanation:

Find the volume of each prism, and add the two volumes together.

V = BH

Upper prism:

Vupper = (1/2)bhH = (1/2)(6 in.)(12 in.)(14 in.)

Vupper = 504 in.^3

Lower prism:

Vlower = (1/2)bhH = (1/2)(7 in.)(8 in.)(14 in.)

Vlower = 392 in.^3

Volume = Vupper + Vlower

Volume = 504 in.^3 + 392 in.^3

Volume = 896 in.^3
