Group of answer choices
h = 7 m
h = 10 m
h = 13 m
h = 8 m
To find the height of the triangle's base, we can use the formula for the volume of a triangular prism: volume = (1/2) * base * height * width.
Given:
Volume = 350 m^3
Width = 20 m
Base = 5 m
350 = (1/2) * 5 * h * 20
350 = (5/2) * h * 20
350 = 50h
h = 350 / 50
h = 7
Therefore, the height of the triangle's base is h = 7 m.
Therefore, the answer is h = 7 m.
