Question

What is the volume of the triangular prism shown below?

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

The volume (V) of the triangular prism is calculated as

V = area of triangular face × length

Area of triangle =
`(1)/(2)` bh ( b is the base and h the height )

Here b = 6 and h = 8, thus

Area =
`(1)/(2)` × 6 × 8 = 3 × 8 = 24 units², thus

V = 24 × 20 = 480 units³ → B
