Question

The figure below shows two similar right triangular prisms.

What is the volume of Prism B rounded to the nearest hundredth cubic unit?

58.59

46.88

66.41

37.50

Answer 1

If they are similar that would mean they are in some ratio right?

Answer 2

Of course

Answer 3

Calm down! :)

Answer 4

I am calm

Answer 5

So 4/5 = 5/6.25 = 3/x
4/5 = 3/x
x = 15/4
So now find the volume by finding the area of the base triangle of the second triangle and multiplying with the new height = 15/4! :D

Answer 6

that's not an answer

Answer 7

What did you get?

Answer 8

117.18

Answer 9

Is 58.59 an answer?

Answer 10

Yea, but what you told me to multiply want an answer, how did you get 58.59?

Answer 11

Okay check your calculation!
h*b/2 * HEIGHT OF PRISM!
h=5
b=6.25
HEIGHT OF PRISM = 15/4
Now solve! :)

Answer 12

Ok, nothing was said about dividing by 2 though haha. Thanks!
