Question

15. Find the volume of the figure below.20 yd15 yd9 yd12 yd- 20.9

Answer 1

The volume of a triangular prism is the following equation:

$V=Ah$

where A represents the area of the base and h represents the height of the prism.

In this case, the area of the base is the following:

$A=\frac{12\cdot9}{2}=\frac{108}{2}=54yd^2$

then, the volume of the prism is:

$V=54(20)=1080yd^3$
