Question

What is the volume of a triangular prism whose bases are right triangles with sides of 3 cm, 4 cm, and 5 cm, and whose height is 10 cm?

Answer 1

Find the area of the right triangle:

1/2 x 3 x 4 = 6 square cm.

Now multiply the area by the height:

6 x 10 = 60 cubic cm.

Answer 2

Answer:

60 cm^3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The base and height of the triangular base is 3 and 4 cm.

The volume = area of the triangular base * the height

= 1/2 * 3 * 4 * 10

= 60 cm^3.
