A prism is 8 cm tall with a right triangle for a base with side lengths 3 cm, 4 cm, and 5 cm.
Added by Sherri H.
Step 1
The base of the prism is a right triangle with side lengths 3 cm, 4 cm, and 5 cm. The area of a right triangle can be calculated using the formula: Area = (1/2) * base * height In this case, the base is 3 cm and the height is 4 cm. So, the area of the base Show more…
