Question 1150753: Hi
Chocolate bars are made in the shape of a triangular prism. The base of the bar is a right angled isosceles triangle with 2 sides 3cm each. The chocolate to produce the bars is melted from a block with volume of 3600cm cubic. If chocolate from the block can make 400 bars what is the depth of each bar.
Thanks

3600 cubic cm for 400 bars means 3600/400=9 cubic cm for each bar.

The area of the base of the prism is one-half base times height, which for a right triangle is one-half the product of the legs: (1/2)(3)(3) = 9/2 square cm.

The volume of a prism is the area of the base, times the height.

Pretty easy to finish from there to find the height of the bars....
