What is the volume of a triangular prism is the base of the triangle is 6 cm the height of a triangle is 8 cm and the length of the entire prism is 10 cm?
To find the volume of a 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.
Plugging in the values we have:
A = 1/2 * 6 cm * 8 cm
A = 24 cm^2
Now, to find the volume of the triangular prism, we multiply the area of the base triangle by the length of the prism.
V = A * length
V = 24 cm^2 * 10 cm
V = 240 cm^3
Therefore, the volume of the triangular prism is 240 cubic centimeters.
