Answer 2

The trick with volume of prism is to mulitply the area of the base by the depth of the prism. So find the area of the triangle first.

\[A=\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }bh\]

Answer 3

what is the cubic feet

Answer 4

You have to find the area of the triangular base first

Answer 5

Can u teach me?

Answer 6

this is my last question and last time doing it

Answer 7

yeah. look at your question. Multiply the numbers they gave for base and height and then divide by 2.

\[A=\frac{ bh }{ 2 }\]

Answer 8

8*7*12*2????

Answer 9

????

Answer 10

Use the formula I put up.

****This is an example.****
What is the area of a triangle with a base of 18 ft and a height of 23 ft?

\[A=\frac{ bh }{ 2 }\]
\[A=\frac{ 18 * 23 }{ 2 }=\frac{ 414 }{ 2 }=207\]

Answer 11

So its 207?

Answer 12

I feel like you're not really reading everything I'm typing. That's an example. You need to pick out the relevant information from your problem and plug them into the formula

Its hard:( i got 3 min

Answer 14

You can solve this in 3 minutes.

what are the base and height of your triangle?

Answer 15

is t he answer 28?

Answer 16

Yes 28 is the area of the triangle.

To get the volume, multiply that by 12 (the length)

Answer 17

336?

Answer 18

right
