Question

The dimensions of a triangular prism are shown in the diagram.




What is the volume of the triangular prism in cubic centimeters?

Answer 1

Answer:

312 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

volume of triangular prism = area of triangle x length

area of triangle = 1/2 x base x height

⇒ area of triangle = 1/2 x 8 x 6 = 24 cm²

Therefore, volume of the prism = 24 x 13 = 312 cm³

Answer 2

Volume of triangular prism = Area of △ x length

→ Area of triangle = $\frac{1}{2}$ × base × height

→ Area of triangle = $\frac{1}{2} \times 8 \times 6 = 24 cm²$

Volume of the prism = 24 x 13 = 312 cm³
