Question 1089866: PLEASE HELP
If the height of the prism is 8, and the volume is 432 square root of 3, what is the length of one of the regular edges of the base? For most prisms, the volume can be determined by multiplying the base and the height. (The bottom is shape of a hexagon) The area of a regular hexagon is A= 3 square root of 3 divided by 2 and s^2, where s is one of the sides?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Volume(V) = (3/2) * square root(3) * s^2 * h
:
432 * square root(3) = (3/2) * square root(3) * s^2 * 8
:
432 = 12 * s^2
:
s^2 = 36
:
s = 6
