Math Problem Statement
Solution
The given image shows a shape with the following key measurements:
- One side of 56 ft
- Another side of 85 ft
- The angle between the sides,
We are tasked with finding the volume of this shape in cubic yards. The shape in the image resembles a triangular prism, where the triangular base is defined by the two sides (56 ft and 85 ft) and the included angle .
Steps to Find the Volume:
-
Area of the triangular base: To calculate the area of the triangular base, we can use the formula for the area of a triangle when two sides and the included angle are known: where:
-
Volume of the prism: Once the area of the triangular base is known,
