Answer:
D. 264 in³
Step-by-step explanation:
The missing edge dimension can be found using the Pythagorean theorem. Then the volume can be found using the appropriate formula.
<h3>Edge dimension</h3>
The missing dimension and the two given for the top triangle will satisfy the Pythagorean theorem. If the missing dimension is represented by 'a', then we have ...
a² +8² = 10²
a = √(100 -64) = 6 . . . . inches
<h3>Volume</h3>
The area of the top triangle is ...
A = 1/2bh . . . . where b and h are the base and height dimensions
A = 1/2(6 in)(8 in) = 24 in²
The volume of the triangular prism is ...
A = Bh . . . . . where B is the area of the triangular base, and h is the prism height
A = (24 in²)(11 in) = 264 in³
The volume of the triangular prism shown is 264 in³.
