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
*prisim is a right triangle*
The formula for finding the area of a right triangle base is:
Area = 1/2 * base * height
In this case, the base is the length and width of the right triangle, so:
Area = 1/2 * 7 * 2
Area = 1/2 * 14
Area = 7
Therefore, the area of the base of the triangular prism is 7 square units.
