Look up the formula for the volume of a prism and post it here.

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Have you considered calculating the area of an equilateral triangle with each side of length 10 yds?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What would I do after that?

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

That would be thinking time. Notice first what bahrom7893 recommends. Do second, what I suggested. You'll be well on your way.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So V = bh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right?

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

That's it. b = Area of equilateral triangle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That makes everything a lot easier. Thanks!
