what is the volume of a triangular prims if the base of triangle is 6cm the height of the triangle is 8cm and the length of the entire prism is 10cm
To calculate the volume of a triangular prism, you first need to find the area of the triangle at the base of the prism and then multiply it by the length of the prism.
The area of a triangle is calculated by the formula: (base * height) / 2
In this case, the base of the triangle is 6 cm and the height is 8 cm.
Area of the triangle = (6 * 8) / 2 = 24 cm²
Now, multiply the area of the triangle by the length of the prism to get the volume:
Volume = 24 cm² * 10 cm = 240 cm³
Therefore, the volume of the triangular prism is 240 cm³.
