Exercise 2 Page 643

Use the formula for the volume of a prism.

396 cubic feet

Practice makes perfect

The given solid is a triangular prism.

The volume of a prism can be calculated using the following formula. V= B h Here, B is the area of a prism's base and h is the prism's height. Note that the base is a right triangle, so we can calculate its area using the formula for area of a triangle.

B=1/2bh

SubstituteII

b= 8, h= 9

B=1/2( 8)( 9)
