Question

What is the volume of the right prism?

A. 50 in3

B. 600 in3

C. 1200 in3

D. 400 in3

Answer 1

Volume of a right prism = Area of the base * height

the base is the right triangle.
Area of a right triangle = ab/2
a = 15 inches ; b = 8 inches

Area of a right triangle = (15in * 8in)/2 = 120 in² / 2 = 60 in²

V = B * h
V = 60 in² * 10 in
V = 600 in³ Choice B.
