do u know the formula to finding the volume

jhonyy9:

so bc. this is a triangular prisme formula for volume do you know it ?

RodeWolf:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @summerbabyy1217 do u know the formula to finding the volume \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) no sorry it doesn't give me a formula

RodeWolf:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @jhonyy9 so bc. this is a triangular prisme formula for volume do you know it ? \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) No like I said in the other comment I wasn't given a formula

summerbabyy1217:

its width x length x height = the volume so it will be 8x4x6=

RodeWolf:

omg thank you

summerbabyy1217:

wait hold on

RodeWolf:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @summerbabyy1217 wait hold on \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) ok

Daisy11111:

=192

RodeWolf:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Daisy11111 =192 \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) ok thxs but pls don't give direct answer

jhonyy9:

V = area of base time height more exactly

RodeWolf:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @jhonyy9 V = area of base time height more exactly \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) yes that's what I just looked up and saw

Daisy11111:

oh srry

RodeWolf:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Daisy11111 oh srry \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) No prob just giving u a heads up

summerbabyy1217:

do they give u a base?

RodeWolf:

Would I divide by 2?

RodeWolf:

no just what's in the image

summerbabyy1217:

its a triangular prism so the formula would be different but u need a base

jimthompson5910:

Here's what the base looks like |dw:1606942289752:dw| if we look from a birds-eye-view straight down at the figure The area of a triangle is area = 0.5*base*height If the base of the triangle is 4 ft and the height is 6 ft, what is the area of this triangle?

summerbabyy1217:

so u would but 0.5x4x6 to get the area

RodeWolf:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @jimthompson5910 Here's what the base looks like Created with Raphaƫl6 ft4 ftReply Using Drawing if we look from a birds-eye-view straight down at the figure The area of a triangle is area = 0.5*base*height If the base of the triangle is 4 ft and the height is 6 ft, what is the area of this triangle? \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) ok thxs hold on

RodeWolf:

O got 12

RodeWolf:

I got 12 i meant to put (sucky key pad)

RodeWolf:

Then multiply by 8?

jimthompson5910:

yes 12 is correct, now you'll multiply that base area by the prism's height (8 ft) volume of prism = (area of base)*(height)

jimthompson5910:

yes multiply by 8

RodeWolf:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @jimthompson5910 yes multiply by 8 \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) ok thxs

summerbabyy1217:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @jimthompson5910 yes 12 is correct, now you'll multiply that base area by the prism's height (8 ft) volume of prism = (area of base)*(height) \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) its a triangular prism so wouldnt the formula be different

jimthompson5910:

all prisms have the same basic template for the volume The difference is that the base is calculated using the area of a triangle formula

RodeWolf:

Alright! I got the answer it's 96 cu. ft.

jimthompson5910:

96 cubic feet is correct
