Question

Calculate the volume of a prism with measurements a = 11, b = 5, and c = 10. 

       550
        450
        325
        275

anonymous · Answer

Volume = abc (assuming that a,b, and c are the lengths of the prism's sides)
V = (11)(5)(10)
= 550

Here is the prism.

anonymous · Answer

i took a quiz with the same question on it and the answer was 275. I thought that was wrong but idk.

anonymous · Answer

i keep on getting 550

anonymous · Answer

Ok to find the volume, we find the area of the triangle and then multiply it by b.

anonymous · Answer

Area of a triangle = (1/2)bh
= (1/2)(10)(11)
= 55

anonymous · Answer

Multiply by 5 to get 275

anonymous · Answer

Notice that 275 is half of 550, we just didn't note that it's a triangle and not a rectangular prism.
