Question

What numbers do I have to multiply to find the volume of the triangular prism?

Answer 1

Triangular prism is a prism whose triangle as the base. The volume of a triangular prism could be determined using

`\boxed{v= \text{area of base} * \text{height of prism}}`

Remember, the base is a triangle, so the formula will be

`v= \text{area of triangle} * \text{height of prism}`

`v = (1)/(2) * \text{base of triangle} * \text{height of triangle} * \text{height of prism}`

plug in the numbers

`v= (1)/(2) * 30 * 36 * 61`
v = 15 × 36 × 61
v = 16,740
The volume is 16,740 cm³
