Question

Calculate the volume of the prism shown with measurements a = 11, b = 5, and c = 8.11022055128

Answer 1

Given : measurements of sides of prism a = 11 , b=5 , c=8

To find: Volume of prism

Solution:

Volume of triangular prism = area of triangle x height of the prism

let height of prism = b

area of triangle =

$\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{2}\times base\times height \\ =\frac{1}{2}\times c\times a \\ =\frac{1}{2}\times8\times11 \\ =44 \end{gathered}$

Now, volume of prism =

$\begin{gathered} =44\times5 \\ =220 \end{gathered}$

Hence, volume of the givne triangular prism is 220
