Part 1: To find the area of one triangle base of the prism, we need to find the area of the triangle. The formula for the area of a triangle is 1/2 x base x height. In this case, the base of the triangle is 9 in and the height of the triangle is 8 in.
Area = 1/2 x 9 in x 8 in
Area = 36 in squared
Part 2: The height of the prism is the distance between the two triangular bases. In this case, the height of the prism is 16 in.
Part 3: Now we can find the volume of the triangular prism using the formula V = (area of the base) x (height of prism).
V = 36 in squared x 16 in
V = 576 in^3
Therefore, the volume of the triangular prism is 576 cubic inches.
There is a triangular prism and the volume is 16 in, 9 in, and 8 in
The formula for volume of a TRIANGULAR PRISM is V=(area of the base) x (height of prism)
Part 1: Find the area of one TRIANGLE BASE of the prism: Area = __ in squared
Part 2: What is the height of the prism? The height connects the 2 bases. __ in
Part 3: Find the volume of the triangular prism using V=(area of the base) x (height of prism)
__ in^3
