now we are talking about volumes

anonymous · Answer

alrighty (:

anonymous · Answer

so, 
Probability = volume of prism B / volume of the whole prism

this is a right prism with triangular base
volume = area of base * height
            = (1/2)*base*height of base * height of prism

anonymous · Answer

prism B hase a triangular base of base 12ft and height of base is 10ft and height of prism is 52ft
volume = $\Large {1\over2}\times12\times10\times52$

anonymous · Answer

similarly, for the whole big prism

anonymous · Answer

i got 3120?

anonymous · Answer

good
3120 cubic feet


now find the volume of the big prism

anonymous · Answer

how do i find the volume of big prism?

anonymous · Answer

same steps..
what is the length of base of the big prism?

anonymous · Answer

i got it wrong :(
