1) find the volume of the given prism. round to the nearest tenth if necessary. (1 point) a) 2,511.5 yd to the power of 3 b) 1,255.7 yd to the power of 3 c) 1,025.3 yd to the power of 3 d) 1,450.0 yd to the power of 3

Volume is base times height. Use the triangle 10-10-10 as the base

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is an equilateral triangle. Therefore the area is 1/2 side * side * sqrt(3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is 1/2 * 10 * 10 * sqrt (3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

? I don't get it. I got 50....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

same here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How did you get 50? you need to multiply 50 by sqrt of 3 and then multiply it 29

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Should be something like 50 * 29 * sqrt (3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

24389?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well, sqrt of 3 is 1.732 roughly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

50*29 is 1450

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so multiply 1450 by 1.732

OpenStudy (anonymous):

242.48?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1450*1.732

OpenStudy (anonymous):

plug that into a calculator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i did, and thats what i got.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you should get something larger than 1450 because you are multiplying by a number over 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

copy paste what I wrote into google search

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2511.4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes Now which answer is pretty much that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you.
