Question

Mr. Stanford’s greenhouse has the dimensions shown. The volume of the greenhouse is 90 cubic yards. Find the missing dimension of the greenhouse.

Answer 1

Answer:

$h=10\ yd$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of the triangular prism of the figure is equal to

$V=Bh$

where

B is the area of the triangular base

h is the height of the triangular prism

Find the value of B

$B=\frac{1}{2}(6)(3)=9\ yd^{2}$

we have that

$V=90\ yd^{3}$

substitute the values and solve for h

$90=9h$

$h=90/9=10\ yd$
