Question

A triangular prism has a volume of 2500 cubic feet. What is the length of the prism if its triangular bases are right triangles, each with perpendicular sides of 10 and 20 feet

Answer 1

Answer:

25 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

V = AH, where A = area of the base, and H = height (length) of the prism

A = bh/2 for a triangle

V = bh/2 × H

2500 = (10)(20)/2 × H

2500 = 100H

H = 25

Answer: 25 ft
