When finding the volume of a triangular prism, first we must find the area of the base. What is the area of the base of the triangular prism? Use the formula sheet
L=7 W=2 H=3
The base of the triangular prism is a triangle with base length and height. The formula for the area of a triangle is:
Area = 0.5 * base * height
Given that the base length (b) is 7 and the height (h) is 2, we can calculate the area of the base:
Area = 0.5 * 7 * 2
Area = 0.5 * 14
Area = 7
So, the area of the base of the triangular prism is 7 square units.
