Question

What is the volume in cubic inches of the right triangular prism shown below?

Answer 1

Given:

Base(b)= 3 inches ; height (h) =5 inches ; height of the prism is(H)=12 inches

Volume of the prism = Base area X height of the prism

`\text{Volume of the prism=}(1)/(2)* b* h* H`
`\text{Volume of the prism=}\frac{\text{1}}{2}*3*5*12`
`\text{Volume of the prism}=3*5*6`
`\text{Volume of the prism}=90\text{ Cubic inches}`

Therefore, Option C is correct answer.
