Question

Find the ratio of the volume of the triangular prism

to the volume of the cuboid.
Give your answer in its simplest form.

Answer 1

triangular prism

0.5 X 5 X 4 X 9 = 90 cubed cm

cuboid

6 X 5 X 20 = 600 cubed cm

triangular prism : cuboid

90:600

now simplify

both are divisible by 30

3:20

this cannot be simplified further

answer = 3:20
