Find the volume of a triangular prism with the following dimensions. Round to the nearest whole number.
triangle base: 7 ft
triangle height: 4 ft
prism height:8.5 ft
area of triangle base: 1/2 bh
volume of prism: base.area * height
so, what do you get?
To find the volume of a triangular prism, you need to multiply the area of the triangle base by the height of the prism.
First, find the area of the triangle base:
Area = (base x height) / 2
Area = (7 ft x 4 ft) / 2
Area = 28 ft²
Now, multiply the area of the triangle base by the height of the prism:
Volume = Area x Height
Volume = 28 ft² x 8.5 ft
Volume = 238 ft³
Therefore, the volume of the triangular prism is approximately 238 ft³.
