What is the volume of the container in cubic inches?

58.32 in.³

116.64 in.³

19.44 in.³

28.5 in.³

Answer 1

To find the volume of a triangular prism, you need to multiply the base area by the height.

First, find the area of the triangle base:
Area = 0.5 * base * height
Area = 0.5 * 10.8 * 7.2
Area = 38.88 square inches

Then, multiply the base area by the height of the prism:
Volume = Area * height
Volume = 38.88 * 1.5
Volume = 58.32 cubic inches

Therefore, the volume of the container is 58.32 in.³.

Correct Answer: 58.32 in.³
