How do I find the volume of this right triangular prism?

Mathematics

I’ll try to make a step by step demonstration! Feel free to skip to step 5 for the answer, though
1. The formula for a right triangular prism is (1/2)*base*height*length, and we know what the base (4 cm) and length (8 cm) are, but not the height
2. To find the height we must divide the side triangle into two, which then gives us two right triangles
3. Focusing on just one of the right triangles, its base will be 2 cm rather than 4 (as it has been divided by two) and its hypotenuse will be 4 cm; using Pythagorean’s theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2), solve for the missing side (the height), which should end up being √12
4. Multiply! (1/2)4*√12*8 ≈ 55.425
5. Round to the nearest tenth —> 55.4
I hope this helped somewhat! Comment if clarification is needed

AnnyKZ [126]

Red shirts and blue shirts equally count to his bonus, so he has 15 + 23 = 38 shirts sold at this moment. He needs to sell 75 shirts for the bonus. We subtract our goal from what he have; 75 - 38 = 37.


The strategy here: subtract the goal (75 shirts) from what you did to get to the goal (15 shirts and 23 shirts).


Nathan needs to sell 37 more shirts for the bonus. Hope this helps.

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

84\text{ in}^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that  Mrs. Chen's students are making and decorating gift boxes for a nursing home. The boxes are 7 inches wide, 7 inches long, and 7 inches high. We are asked to find the amount of cardboard that is needed for each box.

We will use surface area of cuboid formula to solve our given problem.

SA=2(lw+lh+hw), where,

l = Length,

w = Width,

h = Height

SA=2(7\text{ in}\cdot7\text{ in} +7\text{ in}\cdot7\text{ in}+7\text{ in}\cdot7\text{ in})

SA=2(14\text{ in}^2+14\text{ in}^2+14\text{ in}^2)

SA=2(42\text{ in}^2)

SA=84\text{ in}^2

Therefore, Mrs Chen needs 84 square inches of cardboard.
