Help please Here is a triangular prism.
7.8 cm
16 cm
5.4 cm
Work out the volume of the prism in cm.
Give your answer correct to 3 significant figures.

243cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

By Pythagoras' Theorem,

height of the prism ^2 + 5.4^2 = 7.8^2

height of the prism = ±√(7.8^2 -5.4^2) = ±5.6285cm (5s.f.) (rej. - 5.6285 since height > 0cm)

volume of the prism = 1/2 x 5.4 x 5.6285 x 16 = 243cm^3 (3s.f.)

This is a question on mensuration. If you wish to venture further into it/understand this topic better, you may want to follow my Instagram account (learntionary), where I post some of my own notes on certain topics and also some tips that may be useful to you :)

step-by-step explanation:

ok so im not 100% sure but you would start by adding 5.1t and 1.9t beacuse they have the same variable. that is 7t.   then add -3.6 + 1.2 which is -2.4

so then keep that as -2.4 + 7t. i apologize if this is incorrect. best luck on your test < 3
