  • Question
  • The perimeter of the triangular base of a right prism is 60 cm and the sides of the base are in the ratio 5 : 12 : 13. Then, its volume will be (height of the prism being 60 cm).?


  • Options
  • A. 6000 cm3
  • B. 6600 cm3
  • C. 5400 cm3
  • D. 9600 cm3

  • Correct Answer
  • 6000 cm3 

    Explanation

    Let the sides of the base are 5k, 12k and 13k, respectively.
    Given, perimeter of base = 60 cm
    ? 5k + 12k + 13k = 60
    ? k = 60/30 = 2
    The sides of base are 10 cm, 24 cm 26 cm.
    ? Volume of prism = (1/2) x 10 x 24 x 50 = 6000 cm3
