Question

What is the volume of the prism

Answer 1

Hey there :)

We know the volume formula of triangular prism
Volume = base x height of prism
             = $\frac{1}{2} (base)(height)(height of prism)$

We are given:
The base = 8 in
The height = 15 in
You do not need the 17 in ( it is there to trick you )
The height of the prism = 10 in

Apply the formula,
V = $\frac{1}{2} (8)(15)(10)$
   = 600 in³

Your final answer will be the last option
