You didn't solve the problem.

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

yeah thats not the answer

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

to get the answer you need to multiply all the side lengths together and then multiply your hieght times that

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

normally youd just find the volume of the base times hieght

OpenStudy (bookworm14):

i was told that it would be (area of the base) * height * 1/3

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

yeah sorry not volume area

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

not by 1/3 though. idk were you got that

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

what kind of prism it is?

OpenStudy (bookworm14):

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

@SolomonZelman the prism in this case is a triangular prism (not a rectangular prism)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

`i was told that it would be (area of the base) * height * 1/3` that's true if you had a pyramid

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Yes, I know. I wanted to introduce that idea with Riemman sums here. |dw:1454204586099:dw|
