Question

current skill $the base of a triangular prism is 4 feet wide and has a height of 2 feet.the height of the prism is 3 feet. find the volume of the prism.provide an answer accurate to the nearest hundredth.label requiredskill code: 1062026

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate base triangle area

The area of a triangle is $\frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}$. Here, triangle base = 4 ft, triangle height = 2 ft.
$\text{Area of base} = \frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times 2 = 4$ square feet

Step2: Calculate prism volume

Volume of a prism is $\text{Base Area} \times \text{Prism Height}$. Prism height = 3 ft.
$\text{Volume} = 4 \times 3 = 12$ cubic feet

Answer:

12.00 cubic feet
