Question

What is the volume of a triangular prism with a height of 7 meters and a base that is an equilateral triangle with sides of 2 meters?

Answer 1

can someone please help

Answer 2

Sure, do you know that volume is area of the base times height?

Answer 3

Do you know how to get the area of a triangle?

Answer 4

If algebra is right, \(7 \sqrt{3} \; m^3 \)should be the answer.

Answer 5

Yes, I got 12.12, which is the same. Because you use hypothagorous theroem....

Answer 6

yea i do

Answer 7

thanks

Answer 8

@order: what is " hypothagorous theroem"?

Answer 9

I did not get it.... any one can explain?

Answer 10

Answer 11

lol, you should sue that teacher :P

Answer 12

Yes! It's stuck. And I can't even spell pythagoras correctly :S

Answer 13

lol

Answer 14

perpendicular is sqrt 3... if you ll multiply it with 7 then it'll give area of plane?

Answer 15

Area of the base * Height * 1/3

Answer 16

sorry

Answer 17

so that = 21?

Answer 18

I got it.............. HATS OFF to @order

Answer 23

Yes. Sorry. I was confused for a second between a pyramid and prism.. Won't happen again! :)

Answer 24

yes...... No problem @order, humans commit mistakes
so we did

Answer 25

now any one please tell me how answer is 7√3m3

Answer 26

It's that answer because the area of the base is the square root of 3 and 7 is the height.

Answer 27
