Question

the volume of the right triangular prism is _____ in3 . use the formula v =bh

Answer 1

We have to use the volume formula for a triangular prism

$V=B\cdot h$

Where B is the base angle, which is a triangle

$B=\frac{b\cdot h}{2}=\frac{12\cdot5}{2}=30in^2$

Then, we find the volume

$V=30in^2\cdot10in=300in^3$

Hence, the volume is 300 cubic inches.
