Question

Prism A is a triangular prism. The triangular base has a base of 7 meters and height of 9 meters. The prism has a height of 4 meters. Prism B is a rectangular prism with length of 8 meters, width of 2 meters, and height of 8 meters.
Which prism has the least volume?


Prism ________

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Prism A Volume

The Column of Prism A = Base (Area) * Height.

I think you have to assume that the triangle is a right triangle.

Area of the triangle = 1/2 * 9 * 7

Area of the triangle = 1/2 63

Area of the triangle = 31.5

Volume of the Prism = area of the triangle * thickness

Volume of the prism = 31.5 * 4

Volume of the prism = 126 m^3

Prism B = L * w * h

Prism B = 8 * 8 * 2

Prism B = 128

Prism A has the least volume by just a little.
