Tia is going to create another sculpture that has the same dimensions, but it will not be hollow. She plans to use wood for the
new sculpture. What dimensions of the triangular prism will Tia need to know in order to determine the amount of wood she will need for the sculpture? Explain.
Tia has to know the dimensions needed to find the volume of the sculpture. She needs to know the area of the base as well as the height of the pyramid. The formula that she has to use is 1/3*B*h.
To know the amount of wood needed for the new sculpture, Tia will have to calculate the volume of the pyramid. To do this, she will need to know the area of the base and the height of the pyramid.
