Geometry and Trigonometry practice question

Answer: 60

Base area: (1/2)(3)(4) = 6. Volume = base area × length = 6 × 10 = 60.

Common wrong answers

If you answered 17

17 is 3 + 4 + 10, adding the dimensions.

If you answered 50

50 is 5 × 10, using the hypotenuse as if it were the base area.

If you answered 120

120 is 3 × 4 × 10, using a rectangle for the base instead of a triangle (half of that).
