Question

this triangular prism has a length of 20 centimeters, an end base of 6 centimeters and an end height of 8 centimeters. what is the volume of this prism?

Answer 1

Answer:

The volume of the triangular prism is 480 cm³.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a triangular prism is:

$V=\frac{1}{2}\times \text{b}\times \text{h}\times \text{l}$

Here,

b = base

h = height

l = length

The information provided is:

b = 6 cm

h = 8 cm

l = 20 cm

Compute the volume of the triangular prism as follows:

$V=\frac{1}{2}\times \text{b}\times \text{h}\times \text{l}$

   $=\frac{1}{2}\times 6\times 8\times 20\\\\=6\times 8\times 10\\\\=480\ \text{cm}^{3}$

Thus, the volume of the triangular prism is 480 cm³.
