When finding the volume of a triangular prism, we multiply the area of the base x the height of the prism. Find the volume of the triangular prism. 3cm 2cm 7cm
To find the volume of the triangular prism, we first need to find the area of the base triangle.
The area of a triangle is given by the formula A = 1/2 * base * height.
In this case, the base of the triangle is 3 cm and the height is 2 cm.
Therefore, the area of the base triangle is A = 1/2 * 3 cm * 2 cm = 3 cm^2.
Now, we multiply the area of the base by the height of the prism to find the volume.
Volume = area of base * height
Volume = 3 cm^2 * 7 cm
Volume = 21 cm^3
Therefore, the volume of the triangular prism is 21 cm^3.
