Question

What steps should be taken to calculate the volume of the right triangular prism? Select three options.

A triangular prism. The triangular base has a base of 8 meters and height of 14 meters. The height of the prism is 7 meters.

A. Use the formula A = one-half b h to find the area of the base.
B. Use the formula A = b h to find the area of the base.
C. The area of the base, A, is One-half (7) (8) = 28 meters squared.
D. The area of the base, A, is One-half (8) (14) = 56 meters squared.
E. The volume of the prism, V is (56) (7) = 392 meters cubed.

Answer 1

a,d, and e

Explanation:

Answer 2

Options A, D and E.

Explanation:

Formula to calculate the volume of the triangular prism is,

Volume of the triangular prism = (Area of the triangular base)×(height)

= B × h

Area of the right triangular base =
`(1)/(2)(\text{Base})(\text{height})`

=
`(1)/(2)(8)(14)`

= 56 m²

Volume of the prism =
`(56)(7)`

= 392 cubic meter

Therefore, from the given options correct options are Option A, Option D and Option E.
