A terrarium is built in the shape of a triangular prism. The prism is 10 inches in height and contains 450 cubic inches of space. A triangular prism is shown. The prism is 10 inches in height and contains 450 cubic inches of space. What is the area of the base shape of the prism? square inches

45 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that a terrarium is constructed in a triangular prism shape with the following 10 inches tall and 450 cubic inches in volume.

We are asked to calculate the area of the base shape of the prism, we know that the volume of any triangular prism is equal to the area of the base times the height therefore:

450 = W × 10

we solve for A:

A = 450/10

A = 45

Which means that the base area is 45 square inches

(C) 45 square inches
