Question

a triangular prism is shown below.$9\frac{3}{5}$ yd7 yd2 ydnote: figure may not be drawn to scale.find the volume of the triangular prism.provide an answer accurate to the nearest hundredth.label required

Explanation:

Step1: Convert mixed number to decimal

$9\frac{3}{5} = 9 + \frac{3}{5} = 9.6$ yd

Step2: Calculate base triangle area

Area = $\frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} = \frac{1}{2} \times 2 \times 9.6$

Step3: Compute prism volume

Volume = $\text{Base Area} \times \text{Length} = 9.6 \times 7$

Answer:

$67.20$ cubic yards
