Drag the steps for finding the volume of a triangular prism into the correct order.

Multiply B by the height (length) of the prism: V = Bh.
Identify the dimensions of the triangular base.
State the volume with correct cubic units.
Calculate B, the area of the triangular base: B = ½bh.

Correct Answer

(1) Identify the dimensions of the triangular base.
(2) Calculate B, the area of the triangular base: B = ½bh.
(3) Multiply B by the height (length) of the prism: V = Bh.
(4) State the volume with correct cubic units.

Explanation

The procedure: 1) Identify the base triangle's dimensions. 2) Calculate \(B = \frac{1}{2}bh_{\text{triangle}}\) for the area of the triangular cross-section. 3) Multiply \(B\) by \(h\) (the prism's length): \(V = Bh\). 4) State the answer in cubic units. Note: the height of the prism is perpendicular to the triangular base.
