Isosceles + prism

Calculate the volume of the perpendicular prism if its height is 17.5 cm and the base is an isosceles triangle with a base length of 5.8 cm and an arm's length of 3.7 cm.

Correct answer:

V =  116.6146 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} h=17.5\text{cm} \\ a=5.8\text{cm} \\ r=3.7\text{cm} \\ {h}_2=\sqrt{r^2-(a/2{)}^2}=\sqrt{3.7^2-(5.8/2{)}^2}\doteq 2.2978\text{cm} \\ {S}_1=\frac{a\cdot h_2}{2}=\frac{5.8\cdot 2.2978}{2}\doteq 6.6637{\text{cm}}^2 \\ V=S_1\cdot h=6.6637\cdot 17.5=116.6146{\text{cm}}^3 \end{gathered}$$
