Can some1 help me find the volume of a triangular prism ? pleasee

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

Length of rectangle:7 Base of triangle:6.4 Base of angle of triangle:63 degrees

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

lateral SA=170.8 SA=211.12 Base area=20.16

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

@UnkleRhaukus ? do you know?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

can you draw it? |dw:1399348371881:dw|

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

yes

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

If you have figured out the area of the triangular base already you just need to multiply this area by the length of the rectangle |dw:1399348500853:dw| \[A=b\times\ell\]

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

Whops *mistake* (should be volume) \[\large V=b\times\ell\]

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

141.12? :/

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

yeah that's what i'm getting too

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

good work

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

oh ok cuz some other girl helped me and she did something different and she concluded the answer of 282.24 and today i was doubting it

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

well, i think she is off by a factor of 2 for some reason.

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

she used a triangle formula or something it was like 1/2 bhl or something like that

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

Can you help me find the slant height of a regular tetrahedron now plzz? if you can (with an edge of 10.4)

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

|dw:1399349738409:dw|

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

im not sure exactly what they mean by slant height

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

This height? |dw:1399349899793:dw|
