Answer 2

I know V=bh

Answer 3

very simple universal steps for finding area

Answer 4

what is the base and height though?

Answer 5

i am looking for the volume, not area

Answer 6

you need to find 3 dimensions, start by finding the area of the triangle

Answer 7

*teh pardon, indeed volume

Answer 8

you do need to find first the area of the triangle

Answer 9

use "1/2(bh) = A" formula

Answer 10

that is 120

Answer 11

then consider the depth dimension-- that's the 10 inch measurement

Answer 12

multiply your triangle area by this dimension to get the volume

Answer 13

I'm too laze to calculate

Answer 14

wait, it is d, is it not?

Answer 15

might be, I can't get my calculator to do anything without touching it unfortunately...

Answer 19

600 is the ticket

Answer 20

oh, so d, i was right, u sure it is d?

Answer 21

unless google cant make calculators worth diddley

Answer 22

Trust me, I'm a doctor.

Answer 23

hello, doge u there, come in woof woof sniff sniff

Answer 24

So the base area is 8*10=80, ya?
Then, since not it's a rectangular prism, it's triangle, we throw a 1/2 into the multiplication when we do the height.\[\Large\rm \frac{1}{2}\times15\times80\]Yah 600 looks correct :)
