Question

Find the volume of the right triangular prism shown:

Answer 1

Answer:

960cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the base of the triangle (use phytagoras theorem)

c²= a²+b²

20²= 16²+b²

400=256+b²

b²=400-256

b²= 144

b=

$\sqrt{144}$

base= 12

Volume: (1/2×b×h)×l

= (1/2×12×16)×10

=(6×16)×10

=96×10

=960cm³
