A candy bar box is in the shape of a triangular prism. The volume of the boxes, 2,400 cm 17 cm, 16 cm, 20 cm, 17 cm what is the height of the base

1 answer

To find the height of the base of the triangular prism, we first need to calculate the volume of the prism.

The formula for the volume of a triangular prism is:

Volume = 1/2 * base * height * length

Given that the volume is 2,400 cm³ and the base dimensions are 17 cm and 16 cm, we can substitute these values into the formula:

2,400 = 1/2 * 17 * 16 * h

2,400 = 136h

h = 2,400 / 136

h = 17.65 cm

Therefore, the height of the base of the triangular prism is approximately 17.65 cm.
