The pattern, shown, is folded along the dashed lines to make a right triangular prism. What is the volume, in cubic units, of the triangular prism?
Volume = base area * height
The base area is a right triangle with legs of 3 and 4 cm......the area = (1/2) (product of the legs) =
(1/2) ( 3 * 4) = 6 cm^2
The height = 8 cm
Volume = (6) (8) = 48 cm^3
