Answer: 16.97

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

To find the distance from W to X, you can use the distance formula ...or... draw a right triangle using W and X as the vertices and use Pythagorean Theorem to find the hypotenuse. I will solve using the latter.

The y-distance from W to X is 12.

The x-distance from W to X is 12.

hypotenuse² = 12² + 12²

= 144 + 144

= 288

hypotenuse = $\sqrt{288}$

= 16.97

Find the volume of a triangle prism with the following dimensions triangle base: 5ft

Andrews [41]

Hey there :)

We know the volume formula of a triangular prism
Volume = base area × height of prism

We are given:
Base of triangle = 5 ft
Height of triangle = 3 ft
Height of prism = 7.5 ft

Apply the formula
V = $\frac{1}{2}$ ( 5 )( 3 ) × 7.5
= 7.5 × 7.5
= 56.24 ft³
