Question

Find the volume of the prism. (Image down below)

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (A)

Step-by-step explanation:

In the figure attached,

A prism has been given with two triangular bases.

If we put this prism with one of the triangular face as the base of the prism, height of the prism will be 6 in.

Volume of a prism is calculated with the formula,

Volume = (Area of the triangular base) × Height

Area of the triangular base = $\frac{1}{2}(\text{Base})(\text{Height of the triangular base})$

                                             = $\frac{1}{2}(3)(5)$

                                             = 7.5 in²

Volume of the prism = 7.5 × 6

                                  = 45 in³

Therefore, Option (A) will be the answer.
