Question

A gardener uses a triangular prism clay pot to plant flowers. The triangular base is 3 units along the base and 5 units high. The pot has a height of 16 units high. What is the volume of the pot.

Answer 1

to find:

the volume of the pot.

solution:

bolume of a triangular prism= BH

area of a triangle= 1 / 2 × base × height

B = 1 / 2 × b × h

b = 3 units

h = 5 units

B = 1 / 2  × 3 × 5

B = 15 / 2

B = 7.5 units²

H = 26 units

 B = 7.5 units²

V = 7.5 × 26

V= 195 unit³

so, the volume of the pot is 195 unit³.
