The answer is b and c

hope this helps!

Explanation:

Answer 2

For this case we have that by definition, the volume of a regular prism is given by:

V = B * h

Where:

B: It is the area of the base

h: It is the height of the prism

We have to:

`B = 2 * 2 = 4 \ cm ^ 2\\h = 1 \frac {2} {3} = \frac {3 * 1 + 2} {3} = \frac {5} {3}`

Thus, the volume will be:

`V = 4 * \frac {5} {3}\\V = \frac {20} {3} \ cm ^ 3`

ANswer:

`V = \frac {20} {3} \ cm ^ 3`
