eighty-four cubic centimeters

one hundred thirty-eight cubic centimeters

one hundred sixty-eight cubic centimeters

five hundred four cubic centimeters

Answer 1

What you need to do is find the area of the triangle, and multiply it by the height of the prism.

To find the area of the triangle, you multiply the base times the height, and then divide it by two. So, you would multiply 4 cm (the triangle height) times 3cm (the base) and divide by two. 3x4=12/2=6.

The area of the triangle is 6.


Then, you multiply this number by the height of the prism. 6x14=84.

So the answer would be 84 cubic centimeters! :)
