Question

Find the volume of a right solid whose base is shown on the left and whose height is 4 ft. Dimensions are in feet.

Answer 1

Given:

Base of the triangle = 3 ft

Height = 4 ft

Let's find the longest side of the triangle.

Since the radius of the circle is 1.25, the diameter(the dotted lines) is:

d = 1.25 x 2 = 2.5 ft

Thus, the length is:

1.25 + 2.5 + 1.25 = 5 ft

To find the volume of right solid, apply the formula:

$V=\frac{1}{2}\ast b\ast h\ast l$

Thus, we have:
