Use this worksheet to practice finding the Volume and Surface Area of a Right Triangular Prism. Adjust the height_1, base, and height using the labeled sliders. Answer the questions below. The multi-colored switches can be used to check your work.
Q1. If each section of the 'Where Eels Lie Down' sculpture has right angle lengths (h_1 & b) of 1 metre, find the volume and surface area. Give your answers to metres squared and metres cubed, respectively[br][br]A = [br][br]V = [br][br]Q2. If the art is made of up of a total of 19 perfectly exact of these prisms, what is the total volume?[br][br][br]3. Using your answer from Q1 and Q2, would you say you can use this same method to calculate the total surface area of the art? Why/Why not?
