What is the volume of a triangular prism that has a height of 9 meters, length of 14 meters, and base of 4 meters?

Question

|dw:1347855078574:dw|
$$V = \frac{bhl}{2}$$
where:
V = volume
b = base
h = height
l = length

does that help?

I appreciate your help, but I'd personally like a straight answer on how to solve it, not just a drawing.

anonymous · Answer

just follow the formula..

lgbasallote · Answer

i gave you how to solve it

lgbasallote · Answer

i gave you a drawing AND a formula

anonymous · Answer

Never mind. Thanks anyway.

anonymous · Answer

$$V = \frac{ 4 m \times 14 m \times 9 m }{ 2 } = 252 m$$

directrix · Answer

V = B*h where B is the area of the triangular base and h is the height of the prism.

The area the triangular base is 1/2 * 4 * 9 = 18 square meters

The volume of the prism is:

V = (18)(14) = 252 cubic meters. Volume is expressed in cubic units.
