Question

What is the volume of the prism?

Answer 1

Volume of prism = (base area)*(height)

Answer 2

start by figuring out what could be the `base` and `height `

Answer 3

Is it 1200?

Answer 4

nope, you need to count area of one base face only... not both the faces

Answer 5

but I got 150 for the base area then multiplied it by 8.

Answer 6

whats your base shape ?
triangle or rectangle ?

Answer 7

15x10=150?

Answer 8

Rectangle.

Answer 9

thats a mistake, not everything lying on bottom is a base
here, the base is a triangle

Answer 10

How do you know what's a base and what's not?

Answer 11

remember this :
for a prism, the opposite faces look identical for a base

Answer 12

the prism is just sleeping... so its base falls on sides

Answer 13

base = triangle
height = 10

work it now

Answer 14

OH!

Answer 15

So 8*15/2?

Answer 16

yes thats the base area

Answer 17

Okay.

Answer 18

multiply it by the height for the volume

Answer 19

What's the height?

Answer 20

if the triangle is base,
what will be the height ?

Answer 21

Would it be 15?

Answer 22

think of rotating the prism by 90 degrees towards you

Answer 23

so that the triangular base stays on bottom

Answer 24

then height will be 10 right ?

Answer 25

height is the distance between two base faces

Answer 26

here,

height = distance between two triangular bases
= ?

Answer 27

Oh so the height is 10.

Answer 28

So 60x10=600

Answer 29

Yes !

Answer 30

nope

Answer 31

Thank you so much. These prisms are so confusing.

Answer 32

whats the area of one base ?

Answer 33

No?

Answer 34

Area of base = 8*15/2
= ?

Answer 35

120 time 10?

Answer 36

The base area is 60

Answer 37

Yes ! base area = 60

Answer 38

So multiply 60(BA) by 10(H)?

Answer 39

Oh! my bad !! you're right !!! i got confused earlier >.<

Answer 40

Haha it's fine.

Answer 41

600 is correct! good job :)
