Answer:

Height = 21.25 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangular prism (with triangular base at bottom) will have volume formula as:

Triangular Prism Volume = area of base * height

We need to find area of base (which is the triangle shown).

We can use heron's formula which is:

A=\sqrt{p(p-a)(p-b)(p-c)}

Where

A is area

p is HALF of the perimeter (sum of all sides)

a,b,c are the three sides

So p = (12+16+20)/2=24

Now,

A=\sqrt{p(p-a)(p-b)(p-c)}\\A=\sqrt{24(24-20)(24-16)(24-12)}\\A=\sqrt{(24)(4)(8)(12)} \\A=\sqrt{9216} \\A=96

Thus,

Volume = 96 * height

2040 = 96 * height

height = 2040/96 = 21.25 units

Westkost [7]

Answer:

\frac{1}{6}\\

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability, divide the number of desired outcomes by the total:

This will be 3/18, since there are 3 convertibles and there are 18 total cars

Simplify 3/18

= \frac{1}{6}
