Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 6E

the base of the prism is a right angle triangle and area is 27 in2 and according to question base area is 54 in2 this is a incorrect way of calculating area of right angle triangle if area is incorrect calculated, then volume obviously will be incorrect.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Length of base(b) of the right triangle is 9 in

Length of height( h' ) of the right triangle is 6 in

Height( h ) of the prism is 10 in

Formula used:

Area of right angle triangle( B ) = Holt Mcdougal Larson Pre-algebra: Student Edition 2012, Chapter 10.7, Problem 6E , additional homework tip  1

Volume( V ) of right triangular prism = Holt Mcdougal Larson Pre-algebra: Student Edition 2012, Chapter 10.7, Problem 6E , additional homework tip  2

Calculation:

Substituting value of Length of base(b),Length of height( h' ) of the right triangle and Height( h ) of the prism,

Holt Mcdougal Larson Pre-algebra: Student Edition 2012, Chapter 10.7, Problem 6E , additional homework tip  3 On calculation answer is-

=270 in3

According to question volume of the prism: V = Bh Holt Mcdougal Larson Pre-algebra: Student Edition 2012, Chapter 10.7, Problem 6E , additional homework tip  4

On solving the answer is-

=540 in3

Conclusion:

Due to incorrect base formula applied in the question that's why answer is incorrect which is 540 in3.

Where as by using correct right angle triangle formula that's why answer is 270 in3
