Hope it helps :)
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of a triangular prism shaped box is 2,400 cubic centimeters.
Base of the triangle = 16cm
Sides of the triangle = 17cm
Length of the box = 20cm
Triangular prism
A triangular prism is a three-sided prism made of a triangular base and a corresponding side.
A. To find the height of the base = 3 x the volume divided by the base area = 15cm.
B. The approximate amount of card board used to make the candy box:
Using the lateral prism as the sides will be:
Lateral area = Perimeter of triangle X height of the prism
Lateral area = (16 + 17 + 17) X 20
Lateral area = 50 X 20
Lateral area = 1,000 cm2
Therefore, the answer is 1000cm2.
