A construction worker uses a right triangular prism block with base sides 6 cm, 8 cm, and 10 cm and height 15 cm. What is the volume of the block?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Has been given :
Sides of triangle = 6 cm, 8 cm, 10 cm
Height of prism = 15 cm
According to the formula:
Area of right triangle = 1/2 × base × height
Volume of prism = base area × height of prism
Base area = 1/2 × 6 × 8 = 24 cm²
Volume = 24 × 15= 360 cm³
