Hello?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

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.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

First, find the area of the triangle. Then multiply it by the prism height.

385 found the area

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

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?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

\(\Large A_{triangle} = \dfrac{1}{2} bh = \dfrac{1}{2} \times (7~cm) \times(5~cm)\) What do you get for the area of the triangular base?
