Answer: 53.333
Step-by-step explanation: you have to use the formula base times height divided by 3 please mark me the branliest
Annie is correct, and I’ll tel u why you can make the same triangle but just flip it so it not going the same way see tell me if u got it correct.
<u>Given</u>:
The sides of the base of the triangle are 8, 15 and 17.
The height of the prism is 15 units.
We need to determine the volume of the right triangular prism.
<u>Area of the base of the triangle:</u>
The area of the base of the triangle can be determined using the Heron's formula.

Substituting a = 8, b = 15 and c = 17. Thus, we have;


Using Heron's formula, we have;





Thus, the area of the base of the right triangular prism is 36 square units.
<u>Volume of the right triangular prism:</u>
The volume of the right triangular prism can be determined using the formula,

where
is the area of the base of the prism and h is the height of the prism.
Substituting the values, we have;


Thus, the volume of the right triangular prism is 450 cubic units.
