Volume of triangular prism is 20 cm^3. The base triangle has an area of 5cm^2. What is the height of the prism?
Do it like a 7th grader did it and show your work.
Okay, so to find the volume of a triangular prism, you have to multiply the base area by the height.
Given that the volume is 20cm^3 and the base area is 5cm^2, we can write the formula as:
Volume = Base Area x Height
20 = 5 x Height
To find the height, we divide both sides by 5:
Height = 20 / 5
Height = 4
So, the height of the prism is 4cm.
