Question

A tent is in the shape of a triangular prism. It's length is 2.4m it's height 1.8m, and the width of the triangular end is 2.4m. Find the volume enclosed by the tent? how do I solve this?

Answer 1

`5.184m^3`

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the volume enclosed by the tent

Mathematically, that would be the product of the area of the triangular base and the height of the tent

We have the area of the traingular base as:

`A\text{ =}(1)/(2)*\text{ b}*\text{ h = }(1)/(2)*2.4\text{ }*1.8=2.16m^2`

Finally,we muliply this by the height of the tent

We have this as:

`2.16\text{ }*2.4=5.184m^3`
