The triangular prism above has a base area of 6.5 cm2 and a height of 3cm . What is the volume of the triangular prism
To calculate the volume of a triangular prism, you first need to find the area of the triangular base.
The formula for the area of a triangle is:
Area = (base * height) / 2
Substitute the values given:
Area = (6.5 * 3) / 2
Area = 19.5 / 2
Area = 9.75 cm2
Now, to calculate the volume of the triangular prism, use the formula:
Volume = base area * height of the prism
Volume = 9.75 cm2 * 3 cm
Volume = 29.25 cm3
Therefore, the volume of the triangular prism is 29.25 cm3.
