Question

A triangular prism is 2 ft high a length of 1 ft and a base of 2.5 ft what is the volume?

Answer 1

We have been given that a triangular prism, which is 2 ft high a length of 1 ft and a base of 2.5 ft. We are asked to find the volume of the prism.

The volume of the triangular prism is base area times height of prism.

The area of the base will be equal to area of triangle.

`A=(1)/(2)* 2.5* 1`

`A=1.25`

`\text{Volume of triangular prism}=\text{Base area}* \text{Height}`

`\text{Volume of triangular prism}=1.25\text{ ft}^2* 2\text{ ft}`

`\text{Volume of triangular prism}=2.5\text{ ft}^3`

Therefore, the volume of the triangular prism would be 2.5 cubic feet.
