Question

What is the volume of the triangular prism? Round to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Answer:

the volume of the triangular prism is 1,185.6  in³

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of these triangular prism, we will, first, find the area of the triangle then multiply by the length

Area of triangle = $\frac{1}{2}$ × b×h

From the diagram ,the height of the triangle  is given to be 10.4 in and the base is given to be 12 in.

We will now proceed to insert the values into the formula;

                 Area of triangle  = $\frac{1}{2}$ × b×h

                                              = $\frac{1}{2}$ × 12×10.4

                                             

                                                = $\frac{1}{2}$ × 124.8

                                                 =62.4

Area of triangle is 62.4 in²

From the diagram is given to be 19 in

Volume of triangular prism = area of triangular prism × l

                                              =62.4 in²   ×    19 in

                                              =1,185.6  in³

Therefore the volume of the triangular prism is 1,185.6  in³
