Question

Each base in this oblique prism is a right triangle. What is the volume of the figure?

Answer 1

Answer:

66 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the oblique prism = Area of the base× height

V = Area of the triangular base × height

V = (bh/2)H.................. Equation 1

Where V = Volume of the prism, b = bas of the triangle, h = height of the triangle, H  = height of the prism.

From the diagram,

b = 3 cm, h = 4 cm, H = 11 cm.

Substitute these values into equation 1

V = [(3×4)/2]×11

V = 6×11

V = 66 cm³

Hence the volume of the oblique prism is 66 cm³
