Question

a wheelchair ramp is in the shape of a triangular prism it has a base area of 37.4 square yards and a height of 5 yards find the volume of the ramp.

Answer 1

Answer:

The volume of the ramp is $187\ yd^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of the triangular prism (ramp) is equal to

$V=BH$

where

B is the area of the triangular base of the prism

H is the height of the prism

we have

$B=37.4\ yd^{2}$

$H=5\ yd$

substitute the values

$V=37.4(5)=187\ yd^{3}$
