Question

The volume of a hexagonal prism is 12 sqr root 3 in3. What is the height of the prism if the base area is 3 sqr root 3 in3?

Answer 1

@TuringTest

Answer 2

The volume of any "prism" is:

\[(Area \space of \space Base)*(Height)\]

Answer 3

so what do I plug in?

Answer 4

\[Volume = (Area \space of \space Base)*(Height)\]

Volume = \(12\sqrt{3} \)
Area of base = \(3\sqrt{3}\)

Answer 5

Solve for Height

Answer 6

6 sqr root 3?

Answer 7

you sure...

Answer 8

no... how do I solve for it?

Answer 9

Divide both sides by \(3 \sqrt{3}\)
\[12\sqrt{3} \over 3\sqrt{3}\]
