Question

Find the volume of this triangular prism. Be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

$120in^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the diagram attached.

The volume of a triangular prism = $\frac{base\ area *height}{3}$

Since the base is a triangle, Base area = 1/2 * base * height

given base of the triangular base = 8in

height of the triangle = 9in

Base area = 1/2 * 8 * 9

Base area = 4*9

Base area = 36in²

Height of the prism = 10in

Volume of the prism = $\frac{36*10}{3}$

Volume of the prism = $12*10$

Volume of the prism = $120in^3$
