A bicycle ramp used for competitions is a triangular prism. The volume of the ramp is 313.2 cubic feet. Write and solve an equation to find the width of the ramp.

l = 626.4/bh

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangular prism have a base that is triangular in shape. The volume of a prism has the volume represented as follows.

volume = Al

where

A = Base area

l = width

Since the base is a triangle the base area will be the area of a triangle. Therefore,

volume of a triangular prism = 1/2bh l

where

b = base of triangle

h = height of triangle

volume = 313.2 ft³

313.2 = 1/2bh l

Make the width(l) subject of the formula

multiply both sides by 2

626.4 = bhl

divide both sides by bh

l = 626.4/bh

l = 626.4/bh

recall l = width

"image"

step-by-step explanation:

in most of these problems, the notation is that the point with a "prime" is the image of the point without. that is, b' is the image of b.

here, there is no dilation or reflection. there is simply translation (with no direction shown). which figure you call the "preimage" and which one you call the "image" is up to you. as a matter of convention, the naming is as described above.
