Find the volume of the triangular prism.10 cm12 cm8 cmVolume = [?] cm3

Answer 1

Hello!

To find the volume of a triangular prism, we have to use the formula below:

$V=\frac{a\cdot b\cdot c}{2}$

• a, = triangle heigth (10 cm)

,

• b, = triangle base (8 cm)

,

• c, = prism heigth (12cm)

Knowing it, let's replace these values in the formula:

$V=\frac{10\cdot8\cdot12}{2}=\frac{960}{2}=480\operatorname{cm}^3$
