Question

I NEED HELP, I'VE BEEN STUCK ON THIS...Find the volume of this triangular prism. Enter only the numerical part of your answer in square units.

Answer 1

Answer:

V = 240 m^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a triangular prism is

V = Bh  where B is the area of the base and h is the height

B = the area of the triangular base

B = 1/2 bh

B = 1/2 *5*12

B = 30 m^2

The volume is

V = 30 * 8

V = 240 m^3

Answer 2

Answer:

[see below]

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a triangular prism is: $V=\frac{1}{2}bhl$

We are given the base of 5, the length of 12, and the height of 8. All measurements are in meters.

$V=\frac{1}{2}(5*12*8)\\\\V=\frac{1}{2}(480)\\\\V=240$

The volume of the prism should be 240 square meters.
