Question

Find the volume of the triangular prism. 360 ft 3 1,200 ft 3 720 ft 3 600ft 3

Answer 1

Volume=areabase times height
base=traignele
area=1/2 times base times height=1/2 times 10 times 12=60
height=20

volume=60 times 20=1200 cubic feet

2nd option

Answer 2

The volume of the prism can be considered the sum of all the areas of the triangles that make up its length. So the area of the triangle is
1/2*base*height
So
1/2 * 10 * 12


So area of triangle is 60. Now we have 20 feet worth of triangles so
60 * 20 = 1200 cubic feet
