A candy bar box is in the shape of a triangular prism. The volume of the boxes, 2,400 cm 17 cm, 16 cm, 20 cm, 17 cm what is the height of the base
To find the height of the base of the triangular prism, we first need to calculate the volume of the prism.
The formula for the volume of a triangular prism is:
Volume = 1/2 * base * height * length
Given that the volume is 2,400 cm³ and the base dimensions are 17 cm and 16 cm, we can substitute these values into the formula:
2,400 = 1/2 * 17 * 16 * h
2,400 = 136h
h = 2,400 / 136
h = 17.65 cm
Therefore, the height of the base of the triangular prism is approximately 17.65 cm.
