Question

What is the volume of the prism below

Answer 1

Answer:

18 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of any prism is the area of the base multiplied by the height of the prism. In this case, the sides are the bases since they are of the same shape.  

V= base area x height

In this case, the base is a triangle. The area of a triangle is

0.5 x length of the triangle x height of the triangle

The height is basically the distance between both bases, in this case, both triangles.

V= (0.5x4x3)x3 = 18 cm³
