Question

What is the volume of the prism?

900 cubic units
1,020 cubic units
1,800 cubic units
2,312 cubic units

Answer 1

volume of prism =900 cubic units.

Explanation:

We are given a triangular prism.

we know that for the triangular prism ;the volume is given by

volume=(1/2)×length and width of one of the triangular base of the prism×height by the area of the base.

i.e. V=(1/2)×l×b×h

we are given the length of the base of prism=15 units.

width of the base of prism =15 units.

height by the area of base=8 units.

volume=(1/2)×15×15×8

=900 cubic units.

Hence, the volume of prism=900 cubic units.

Answer 2

Other guy is wrong the value of 17 does not matter in this question. 17 is the hypotenuse of the base triangles.

V = 1/2*a*c*h

V=1/2*15*15*8

V=225*4

V=900
