A prism has a right triangle as its base.
The hypotenuse of the triangle is 10 cm
and one leg of the triangle is 6 cm. The
height of the prism is 7 cm. Find its
volume.

Respuesta :

Answer:

168 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

The base of the prism is a right triangle whose hypotenuse is 10 cm and one other side is 6 cm.

So, the third side of the triangle = [tex]\sqrt{10^{2}-6^{2}  }=8[/tex] cm.

{Since we have applied the Pythagoras theorem.}

Hence, the area of the base triangle is [tex]\frac{1}{2} \times 8 \times 6 = 24[/tex]cm².

Therefore, the volume of the prism is = [tex]24\times 7=168[/tex] cm³ {Since volume of a prism is given by ( Area of the base triangle ) × ( Height of the prism )}
