Question

A sculpting tool is in the shape of a solid triangular prism. The tool is made of 12 in.3 of metal and is 4 in. Long. What is the height of the base if it is 2 in. Wide?

Answer 1

Answer:

The height of the base if it is 2 in. Wide is 3 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of rectangular prism = $\frac{1}{2} \times Length \times Base \times Height$

Volume of given rectangular prism = $12 in^3$

Length of prism = 4 in

Base of prism = 2 in

Substitute the values in formula

So, $12 = \frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times 2 \times Height$

$\frac{12 \times 2}{4 \times 2}=Height$

3 = Height

Hence the height of the base if it is 2 in. Wide is 3 inches
