Do you know how to find the volume of a prism?

mathstudent55 · Answer

$\large V_{prism} = Bh$

where B = area of the base
h = height of the prism

mathstudent55 · Answer

The volume of the prism is the area of the base of the prism, a triangle, multiplied by the height of the prism.

anonymous · Answer

ok so what would my answer be for both questions? @mathstudent55

mathstudent55 · Answer

I don't know.
I only know the answer after I work it out.

mathstudent55 · Answer

We can find the area of the base of the prism.
We also know the volume of the prism, so we can find the height of the prism.

$V = Bh$

$3240~cm^3 = \dfrac{24~cm \times 15~cm}{2} \times  h $

Solve for h.
