Question

what is the volume of the prism given below? a. 520 units³ b. 350 units³ c. 1200 units³ d. 600 units³

Explanation:

Step1: Find base triangle area

The base is a right triangle, so area is $\frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} = \frac{1}{2} \times 15 \times 8 = 60$

Step2: Calculate prism volume

Volume = base area $\times$ length of prism: $60 \times 10 = 600$

Answer:

D. 600 units³
