Find the volume of the triangular prism to the right.

The volume of the prism is

f

(Type an integer or a decimal.)

To find the volume of the triangular prism shown in the image, we use the formula for the volume of a prism: \( V = \text{Base Area} \times \text{Height} \).

For a triangular prism:
1. **Base Area**: The base is a triangle. We calculate the area of a triangle using the formula \( \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} \). From the image, it seems that the triangle's base is 5 units and the height (perpendicular height from the base to the opposite vertex) is not explicitly given, but we can infer it from the length marked from the apex to the base line, which is 9 units.
2. **Height of the Prism**: The height of the prism is the perpendicular distance between the triangular bases. It is not visible in the image but is commonly given along the length of the prism that is perpendicular to the triangular faces. If not provided, we might have to assume it's either of the given dimensions, or we may need further information.

Assuming the base and height of the triangle are 5 and 9 units respectively, and assuming the length of the prism (height of the prism) is also 9 units (since another dimension isn't provided), the calculations would be as follows:

1. Calculate the area of the triangular base:
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 5 \times 9 = \frac{45}{2} = 22.5 \, \text{square units}
\]

2. Calculate the volume of the prism using the height of the prism (9 units):
\[
V = \text{Base Area} \times \text{Height of Prism} = 22.5 \times 9 = 202.5 \, \text{cubic units}
\]

Therefore, the volume of the triangular prism is \(202.5\) cubic units.

Relative questions:
1. How would the volume change if the dimensions of the base or height of the prism were different?
2. What is the difference in calculating the volume of a rectangular prism versus a triangular prism?
3. How do you calculate the volume of a prism with a different polygonal base (e.g., hexagonal)?
4. What are some real-life applications of calculating the volume of prisms?
5. How would you find the volume if the triangle base was not right-angled?

Tip: When solving geometry problems, it's useful to sketch out the figure with all given dimensions labeled to visually understand how each part contributes to the formula.
