Question

99 POINTS! A right prism has height 7½ and triangular bases with sides of length 5, 12, and 13 What is the: a Volume of the prism?

Answer 1

Answer:

225 units³

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume = Base area × height

Sides of the base (triangle) are

5, 12 and 13.

It's a right angle triangle

13 is the hypotenuse

Base area = ½×5×12 = 30

Volume = 30×7.5 = 225

Answer 2

Answer:

225

Step-by-step explanation:

A Prism is a shape that has two sides or ends equal and whose sides are parallelograms.

A Right Prism is a prism that has its lateral edges perpendicular to its bases or ends.

Values given are:

Height = 7.5

Length (Triangular bases) = 5, 12 and 13

Volume (V) = ?

Formula: Volume (V) = Area of the Base * Height

Area of the base = 5 + 12 + 13 = 30

Therefore, to find the volume of a right prism, we use the formula above

Formula: Volume (V) = Area of the Base * Height

V = 30 * 7.5 = 225

The volume of this right prism is 225
