Question

A triangular prism container is full of water of 428 cubic cm. The water is 10 cm deep, what is the base area of the container?

Answer 1

The base area of triangular prism container is 42.8 cubic centimeter

Solution:

The volume of triangular prism is given as:

$v = base\ area \times height$

Given that,

A triangular prism container is full of water of 428 cubic cm

The water is 10 cm deep

Therefore,

v = 428 cubic cm

h = 10 cm

Substituting the values we get,

$428 = base\ area \times 10\\\\base\ area = \frac{428}{10}\\\\base\ area = 42.8\ cm^2$

Thus the base area of triangular prism container is 42.8 cubic centimeter
