When finding the volume of a triangular prism, we multiply the area of the base x the height of the prism. Find the volume of the triangular prism. 3cm 2cm 7cm

Answer 1

To find the volume of the triangular prism, we first need to find the area of the base triangle.

The area of a triangle is given by the formula A = 1/2 * base * height.

In this case, the base of the triangle is 3 cm and the height is 2 cm.

Therefore, the area of the base triangle is A = 1/2 * 3 cm * 2 cm = 3 cm^2.

Now, we multiply the area of the base by the height of the prism to find the volume.

Volume = area of base * height
Volume = 3 cm^2 * 7 cm
Volume = 21 cm^3

Therefore, the volume of the triangular prism is 21 cm^3.
