Question

(brainliest)Armando found the volume of the figure below by using the steps shown. A rectangular prism with a length of 18 inches, width of 5 inches, and height of 8 inches. A triangular prism with a base of 18 inches and height of 6 inches. The prism has a height of 5 inches. Total Volume = Volume of rectangular prism + volume of triangular prism = 5 (8) (18) + one-half (6) (18) (8) = 720 + 432 = 1,152 cubic inches. What mistake, if any, did Armando make? Armando determined the volume correctly. Armando used the wrong formula for the total volume. Armando used the wrong dimensions for the triangular prism. Armando did not apply the order of operations correctly.

Answer 1

Answer:  Armando used the wrong dimensions for the triangular prism.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze Armando’s work.

Total Volume = Volume of rectangular prism + volume of triangular prism  

Total Volume = 5 (8) (18) + one-half (6) (18) (8)  

Total Volume= 720 + 432  

Total volume = 1,152 cubic inches.

He made a mistake in the second step, where used h=8 for the triangular prism instead of h= 5 . (h=height)

The correct way to solve this is.

Total Volume = 5 (8) (18) + one-half (6) (18) (5)  

Total Volume= 720 + 270

Total volume = 990 cubic inches.
