Use the formula for the volume of the prism.
72mm^3
The volume of a prism V can be calculated using the following formula. V=Bh In this formula, B is the area of the base and h the height of the prism. First, we can calculate B. The base is a right triangle. Therefore, to find its area, we will calculate half the product of the base b and the height c. B=1/2bc By substituting 4 for b and 3 for c, we can find B.
We found that the area of the base B is 6mm^2. We are also given that the height h equals 12mm. Let's substitute these values into the formula and find V.
The volume of the prism is 72mm^3.
