To find the volume of a triangular prism, you need to multiply the area of the base (triangle) by the height (distance between the two bases).
First, find the area of the base triangle:
Area = (1/2) * base * height
Area = (1/2) * 2 * 2.5
Area = 2.5 square inches
Next, calculate the volume:
Volume = Area of base * height
Volume = 2.5 * 10
Volume = 25 cubic inches
Therefore, the volume of the Toblerone candy package is 25 cubic inches.
The Toblerone candy comes in a package like the triangular prism.
The bases of the triangles are 2 inches with a height of 2.5 inches.
The faces are 10 inches in length.
What is the volume of the package?
