Question

A piece of chocolate candy composed of two congruent triangular prisms, like the one shown below, is filled with caramel.

If a = 1.6 cm, b = 1.1 cm, and c = 2.2 cm, how much caramel can fit inside the piece of candy?
OA.
1.936 cm³
OB. 4.9 cm³
OC. 3.872 cm³
OD. 2.816 cm³

Answer 1

Answer:

A. V = 1.936 cm^3

(or it could be C. V = 3.872 cm^3) **without the image, I can't be sure, but: if there are 2 congruent (identical) prisms, it might be asking for the entire volume, which would then be 2(1.936) = 3.872 cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't have  the image shown, but the unit cm^3 means you're solving for volume. The formula is V = (1/2)wlh where width=w, length=l, h=height.

$V=\frac{1}{2} (1.6)(1.1)(2.2)$

This simplifies to:

V = 1.936 cm^3
