Hi Bob,
Thanks for the help and sorry for the late response.
I have four formulas in which the lesson provided. I think that these formulas will help me find the answer to the questions.
Right Prism Area Theorem.
Lateral Area = Ph
Volume= Bh

Regular Pyramid Area Theorem
Lateral Area = 1/2(P)L
Volume= 1/3(Bh)

Hello,
I am having a lot of difficulties finding out the formula and answer.
I posted the first question for now, and I'll post the rest after I get a hang on this one.

For 1 through 10, what is the area and volume of the given shape, if the length of one side of the base is 6, the height is 8, and the slant height is 10? (Not all shapes will require all three numbers.)

The shape is a right prism with:


1. an equilateral triangle as the base

ALateral area: 90; Volume: 288
BLateral area: 192; Volume: 64
CLateral area: 120; Volume: 240
DLateral area: 144; Volume: 72 √(3)
E Lateral area: 176; Volume: 18*√(15)
F Lateral area: 100; Volume: 288
