Question

The base of a prism is a right angle triangle and the two sides containing the right angle
are 8 cm and 15 cm. If its height is 20 cm, then the volume of the prism is
(A) 160 C.C.
(B) 300 C.C.
(C) 1200 C.C. (D) 600 C.C.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

since the sides of the triangle make the right angle, it should be the altitude and the base of the triangle, so you can use the area formula.

(8*15)/2 = 120/2 = 60

Since the height is 20, use the formula for volume.

60*20 = 1200
