Question

A tent designed as a triangular prism features a triangular base with an area of 20 m? and a height of 6 m. What is the volume of this tent?

• A. 100 m³
• B. 120 m³
• C. 130 m³
• D. 140 m³

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 120 m³

For a triangular prism:

$\text{Volume}=\text{Area of triangular base}\times\text{length of prism}$

Given:

• Area of triangular base = $(20m^2)$

• Length/height of the prism =$(6m)$

$V=20\times6=120m^3$
