Find the volume of the triangular prism. 8.5 3m h=5m
To find the volume of a triangular prism, you first need to find the area of the triangular base and then multiply it by the height of the prism.
The area of a triangle can be calculated using the formula: A = 0.5 * base * height
Given that the base of the triangle is 8.5 meters and the height of the triangle is 3 meters, the area of the triangular base is:
A = 0.5 * 8.5 * 3
A = 12.75 square meters
Now, to find the volume of the triangular prism, multiply the area of the base by the height of the prism:
Volume = 12.75 * 5
Volume = 63.75 cubic meters
Therefore, the volume of the triangular prism is 63.75 cubic meters.
