Question

Syrus is buying a tent with the dimensions shown below. The volume inside the tent is 36 feet^3. Syrus isn't sure if the tent will be tall enough for him to sit up inside. The tent is the shape of triangular prism whose length is 6 feet and width is 4 feet. What is the height of the tent?

Given:

Length of the tent = 6 feet

Width of the tent = 4 feet

Volume of the tent = 36 [tex]feet^3[/tex]

To find the height of the tent.

Solution:

Since the ten is in shape of triangular prism, so the volume of traingular prism is given as:

[tex]V=\frac{1}{2}\times l\times w\times h[/tex]

where [tex]l[/tex] represents length, [tex]w[/tex] represents width and [tex]h[/tex] represents height of the prism.

Plugging in the know values of the dimension of the tent and the volume to find the height of the tent.

[tex]36=\frac{1}{2}\times 6\times 4\times h[/tex]

Simplifying.

[tex]36=12h[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 12.

[tex]\frac{36}{12}=\frac{12h}{12}[/tex]

[tex]3=h[/tex]

∴ [tex]h=3[/tex]

Thus, the height of the tent = 3 feet
