Question

What is the volume of the triangular prism?
A) 480 cm3
Eliminate
B) 960 cm3
C) 1200 cm3
D) 1920 cm3

Answer 1

$\underline {\blue { Dimensions \:of \:triangular \:prism :}}$

/* Take triangle as a base */

$Base \:of \:the \: triangle (b) = 12 \:cm \\height \: of \:the \:triangle (h) = 16 \:cm ,\\Height \:of \:the \:prism (H) = 10 \:cm$

$Volume \:of \:the \:prism \\= base \:area \times height \\= \big ( \frac{1}{2} \times b \times h \big) \times H \\= \frac{1}{2} \times 12 \times 16 \times 10\\= 6 \times 16 \times 10 \\= 960 \:cm^{3}$

Therefore.,

$\red { Volume \:of \:the \:prism} \green {=960 \:cm^{3}}$

$Option \: \pink { ( B) }\:is \: correct$
