What is the volume of the right prism? A. 23 cm3 B. 46 cm3 C. 192.5 cm3 D. 385 cm3
Hello?
The volume of a prism is the area of the base of the prism times the height of the prism. Here, the base is a triangle with triangle base 7 cm and triangle height 5 cm. The prism height is 11 cm.
First, find the area of the triangle. Then multiply it by the prism height.
385 found the area
That is not correct. Let's do it one step at a time. The base is a triangle with base 7 cm and height 5 cm. What is the area of the base?
\(\Large A_{triangle} = \dfrac{1}{2} bh = \dfrac{1}{2} \times (7~cm) \times(5~cm)\) What do you get for the area of the triangular base?
