OpenStudy (anonymous):

24 cm3 8 radical 3cm3 12 radical 3 cm3 48 cm3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this one has an equilateral triangle as its base

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would the height be 2 radical 3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or what?

OpenStudy (kinggeorge):

I believe the height would be \(2\sqrt3\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the base is 4, right?

OpenStudy (kinggeorge):

Right.

OpenStudy (kinggeorge):

Don't worry I'm still here, the internet has been glitchy though. You said you think the answer is \(12\sqrt3\)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep

OpenStudy (kinggeorge):

I am getting that as well. Good job.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ty

OpenStudy (kinggeorge):

Wait... hold on.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what?

OpenStudy (kinggeorge):

Ignore me. I was getting massively confused for no reason. it should be \(12\sqrt3\).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you said that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lolz

OpenStudy (kinggeorge):

I thought I had done something wrong to get that. But I didn't. I just confused myself.
