Katie has an antique glass cabinet in the shape of a triangular prism. The base is an equilateral triangle that has a side length of 2 feet and a height of 1.7 feet. The height of the entire cabinet is 4.5 feet. How many cubic feet of space are inside the cabinet? 7.65 ft3 15.3 ft3 27 ft3 30.4 ft3

Respuesta :

Answer: 7.65 ft3

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the next formula:

Volume of a triangular prism = base area x height

Since:

Area of a triangle (base) = side length x height  

Replacing with the values given:

A= (2 x 1.7 )/2 = 1.7 ft2

Back with the volume formula:

V = base area x height

Replacing with the values given:

V=1.7 x 4.5 =7.65 ft3
