Find H. V = 768 cm3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

Volume = areaBase *h h = areaBase/volume volume = 768 we need to find areaBase for this figure the base or top and bottom is a right triangle the triangle has one side of 8 and diagonal side of 17 area of triangle = 1/2*length*height find height of triangle using pythagorean theorem a^2 +b^2 = c^2 so 8^2+b^2 = 17^2 find b, then use that to find area of triangle

i got 15

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

correct areaTriangle = 1/2*8*15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

does 15 as height?

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

oops i made a mistake h=volume/areaBase

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

yes 15 is height of triangle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Find h. V = 896 cm3

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

what do you get for an answer for H?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

192

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

how did you get 192?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

768=1/2*8*H

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

be careful there are 2 equations one is for 2-dimensional triangle (The base) one is for 3-dimensional prism 768 = (AreaTriangle)*H AreaTriangle = 1/2*8*15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 12.8

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok can u help me with the next question

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

Volume = areaBase*Height 896 = areaBase*24 areaBase = 896/24=112/3 Base is a hexagon, but can be split up into 2 trapezoids Area of trapezoid = 1/2*h*(b1+b2) = 112/3 b1 =12 b2 = 20 solve for h

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

wait another mistake areaTrapezoid = 1/2*areabase = 1/2*112/3 = 112/6=56/3

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

sorry i gotta go good luck answer is 1.166 so you can check
