Step-by-step solution for: Volume of a Triangular Prism Worksheets | Triangular prism ...
To solve the problem of finding the volume of each triangular prism, we need to use the formula for the volume of a triangular prism:
\[
\text{Volume} = \text{Base Area} \times \text{Height}
\]
The base area of a triangular prism is given by the formula for the area of a triangle:
\[
\text{Base Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height of the triangle}
\]
Let's solve each problem step by step.
---
- Dimensions: Base of triangle = 10 in, Height of triangle = 14 in, Length of prism = 19 in
- Base Area:
\[
\text{Base Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times 14 = 70 \text{ in}^2
\]
- Volume:
\[
\text{Volume} = \text{Base Area} \times \text{Length} = 70 \times 19 = 1330 \text{ in}^3
\]
Answer: \( \boxed{1330} \)
