What is the volume of the triangular prism in cubic centimeters?
A. 4,800 cm3
B. 9,600 cm3
C. 2,000 cm3
D. 4,080 cm3
To find the volume of a triangular prism, you first need to find the area of the triangular base and then multiply it by the height.
The formula for the area of a triangle is (base x height) / 2. In this case, the base is 15 cm and the height is 16 cm. So, the area of the triangle is (15 x 16) / 2 = 120 cm^2.
To find the volume of the triangular prism, you then need to multiply the area of the base by the height of the prism. The height of the prism is 40 cm.
Volume = 120 cm^2 x 40 cm = 4,800 cm^3
So, the correct answer is A. 4,800 cm3.
