Question

The volume of a triangular prism is 264 cubic feet The area of the base of a is 48 ft. find the height of the prism

Answer 1

16.5 ft

Explanation:

The formula for the volume of a triangular prism is V = (1/3)(base area)(height).

We can solve this formula for (height):

3V

(height of triangular prism) = -----------------

base area

In this particular case,

3(264 ft³)

(height of triangular prism) = ----------------- = 16.5 ft

48 ft²
