Would a triangular prism that is 6 long and has a triangular face with a base of 4 and a height of 12 have a volume greater than 100 cubic units?

Respuesta :

Yes, the formula for the volume of a prism is the area of the base multiplied by the height of the prism. To find the area of the base since it's a triangle is 1/2 base x height. Which would be 1/2(4)(12)=24. Then you would take that number and multiply it by the height of the prism. Which would be (24)(6)=144 cubic units.
