Chapter 12.4, Problem 6PSA

To determine

To calculate: The length of lateral edge of a right prism with a volume of 286 and base area of 13.

Answer to Problem 6PSA

The length of lateral edge of a right prism is $22$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Volume of prism = 286 B = 13.

Formula used:

Volume of prism $=B\times h$

B = Base area of prism and h = height of prism

Calculation:

  $B=13$

Volume of prism $=B\times h$

  $286=13\times h$

  $\begin{array}{l}h=\frac{286}{13}\\ h=22\end{array}$
