Question

A triangular prism has the dimensions shown at theright. What is the volume of the prism? Round to thenearest tenth if necessary.

Answer 1

ok

1.- Calculate the area of the base

Area = 3 x 6/2

= 18/2

= 9 mm^2

2.- Calculate the volume

Volume = area of the base x height

Volume = 9 x 5.22

= 46.98 mm^3

Rounding to the nearest tenth

Volume = 47 mm^3
