Question

Mark wants to build a ramp in the shape of a triangular prism out of solid wood. The ramp is drawn below with its dimensions.

Answer 1

Answer:

2,250 ft³ wood need to construct the ramp.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of ramp = 20 ft

Base of ramp = 15 ft

Height of ramp = 15 ft

Given figure is a right triangular prism.

Find:

Volume of right triangular prism = ?

Computation:

$Volume\ of\ right\ triangular\ prism = \frac{1}{2}(base)(heght)(length)\\\\ Volume\ of\ right\ triangular\ prism = \frac{1}{2}(15)(15)(20)\\\\Volume\ of\ right\ triangular\ prism = 2,250\ ft^3$

Therefore, 2,250 ft³ wood need to construct the ramp.
