Question

the bottom 9in
the left 16in
the right 8in


The formula for volume of a TRIANGULAR PRISM is V=(area of the base) x (height of prism)(3 points)Part 1: Find the area of one TRIANGLE BASE of the prism: Area = in2Part 2: What is the height of the prism? The height connects the 2 bases. inPart 3: Find the volume of the triangular prism using V=(area of the base) x (height of prism) = in

Answer 1

Part 1:
The base of the triangular prism is a triangle with base 8in and height 16in.
Using the formula for the area of a triangle (Area = 0.5 x base x height),
Area = 0.5 x 8in x 16in = 64in^2

Part 2:
The height of the prism is given as 9in.

Part 3:
Using the formula for volume of a triangular prism,
V = (64in^2) x 9in = 576in^3

Therefore, the volume of the triangular prism is 576 cubic inches.
