Question

A triangular prism has a height of 9 meters and a triangular base with the following dimensions.

Answer 1

Answer:

V = 432 m³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume (V) of a prism is calculated as

V = Ah ( A is the area of the base and h the height )

A = $\frac{1}{2}$ bh ( area of triangular base, with b the base, h the perpendicular height)

Here b = 16 and h = 6 , then

A = $\frac{1}{2}$ × 16 × 6 = 8 × 6 = 48 m²

Then

V = 48 × 9 = 432 m³
