A manufacturer made a container that looked like the Washington Monument to fill with raisins, as shown. Find the volume of the container. The base has the front and sides as 2 and 2 inches
the height is 5 in and the 2 inches.
To find the volume of the container in the shape of the Washington Monument, we need to determine the shape of the container and calculate its volume.
From the given information, we can assume that the container is in the shape of a triangular prism. The base of the prism has the front and sides measuring 2 inches, while the height is given as 5 inches.
The formula for the volume of a prism is: Volume = Base Area x Height.
In this case, the triangular base area can be found by using the formula for the area of a triangle: Base Area = (base x height) / 2.
Substituting the values into the formula, we get:
Base Area = (2 inches x 2 inches) / 2 = 4 square inches.
Now, we can calculate the volume of the prism:
Volume = Base Area x Height = 4 square inches x 5 inches = 20 cubic inches.
Therefore, the volume of the container in the shape of the Washington Monument is 20 cubic inches.
