Question

Find the volume of the prism.

Answer 1

Use the formula v=BH so you multiply the base times the height and get the answer

Answer 2

Hey there!

When we find the volume of a prism, we compute the equation:

V = lwh

This means that volume is equal to length times width times height.

Therefore, it looks as if we need three measurements, when we only have two, the length and height. However, by looking at this picture, we see that the width is actually the same as the length as it is a square, therefore our dimensions are:

V = 7 * 7 * 3

V = 49 * 3

V = 147 units cubed

Hope this helps!
