Find the volume $V$ of a triangular prism if side $a = 1 cm$ and lateral $A L = \frac{3}{8} cm$ .

Answer

$\frac{1}{32} cm^{2}$

Explanation

STEP 1: find length $l$

To find length $l$ use formula:

A L = 3 \cdot a \cdot l

After substituting $A L = \frac{3}{8} cm$ and $a = 1 cm$ we have:

\frac{3}{8} cm = 3 \cdot 1 cm \cdot l

\frac{3}{8} cm = 3 cm \cdot l

l = \frac{\frac{3}{8} cm}{3 cm}

l = \frac{3}{24}

STEP 2: find volume $V$

To find volume $V$ use formula:

V = \frac{3 \cdot a ^{2} \cdot l}{4}

After substituting $a = 1 cm$ and $l = \frac{3}{24} cm^{0}$ we have:

V = \frac{3 \cdot 1 cm ^{2} \cdot \frac{3}{24}}{4}

V = \frac{3 cm ^{2} \cdot \frac{3}{24}}{4}

V = \frac{\frac{1}{8} cm ^{2}}{4}

V = \frac{1}{32} cm^{2}
