Question

What is the volume of the figure composed of two congruent triangular prisms if a = 4 units, b = 2 units, and c = 6 units?

Write your answer as cubic units, e.g. 20 cubic units

Answer 1

Volume is area of the base times the height, so if a is 4, and b is 2 then the area of the triangle is (4x2) divided by 2, which is 4 square units. Now you have the area of the base, so you need to multiply it by the height, which is 6. 4 times 6 is 24 cubic units.
ANSWER: 24 cubic units
