Find the volume of the given prism. round to the nearest tenth if necessary.
a. 2,511.5 yd to the power of 3b) 1,255.7 yd to the power of 3c) 1,025.3 yd to the power of 3d) 1,450.0 yd to the power of 3
we know that volume of the prism=area of the base*height
step 1 find the area of the base the base is an equilateral triangle calculate the area with the law of sines Area=(1/2)*a²*sin C where a=10 yd C=60° (three internal angles are equals) Area=(1/2)*10²*sin 60°-----> 25√3 yd²
step 2 find the volume volume of the prism=(25√3)*29-----> 1255.74 yd³ ------> 1255.7 yd³
the answer is the option b) 1,255.7 yd to the power of 3
