The base of a right prism is a right-angled triangle and the measure of the base of the right-angled triangle is 12 m and its height is 16 m and If the height of the prism is 9 m then what is the number of edges of the prism and its volume?
The base of a right prism is a right-angled triangle and the measure of the base of the right-angled triangle is 12 m and its height is 16 m and If the height of the prism is 9 m then what is the number of edges of the prism and its volume? Correct Answer 9 and 864 m<sup>3</sup>
Given:
The base and height of the right-angled triangle are 12 m and 16m respectively
Formula used:
Area of the right-angled triangle = ½ × base × height
The volume of the prism = Area of the base × Height of the prism
The number of the edges of the prism = The number of the sides of the base × 3
Calculation:
The number of the edges of the prism = The number of the sides of the base × 3
⇒ 3 × 3 = 9
Area of the base = ½ × 12 × 16 = 96 m2
The volume of the prism = 96 × 9 = 864 m3
∴ The number of edges and its volume is 9 and 864 m3
