Question

CLAY A potter crafts a triangular prism out of clay.

The height of the clay prism is 9 centimeters. Each
triangle has a base of 12 centimeters and a height of 4
centimeters. What is the volume of the clay piece?

Answer 1

216 cm^3

Explanation:

I am assuming this is a right triangular prism

V = area of the base * height

We need to find the area of the triangular base

A triangle = 1/2 b*h

= 1/2 (12)4

= 24

Substituting this into the volume equation

V = 24 * 9

216 cm^3
