What is the volume of the triangular prism?

numbers of shape: 12 ft, 15 ft, 9 ft, 16 ft

1 answer

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

First, calculate the area of the triangular base.
base = 12 ft
height = 9 ft

Area = (1/2) * base * height
Area = (1/2) * 12 ft * 9 ft
Area = 54 square feet

Now, multiply the area of the base by the height of the prism to find the volume.
height of prism = 16 ft

Volume = Area of base * height of prism
Volume = 54 square feet * 16 ft
Volume = 864 cubic feet

Therefore, the volume of the triangular prism is 864 cubic feet.
