Question

A student wrote this statement “a triangular prism has a height of 15 inches and a base area of 20 square inches. The volume of the prism is 300 square inches.” Identify and correct the error

Answer 1

For this case, what you must keep in mind is that the volume of a triangular prism is the product of the area of the base by height.

 V = (15) * (20) = 300
 The numeric value is correct.
 However, the units are not because the volume is expressed in:
 units ^ 3
 Answer:
 "a triangular prism has a height of 15 inches and a base area of 20 square inches. The volume of the prism is 300 CUBIC inches. "
