Answer:

Volume of triangular pyramid = 36 inch³

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Sides of base triangle = 3, 4, 5 inches

Height of model = 18 inches

Find:

Volume of triangular pyramid

Computation:

Given base triangle is a right angle triangle

So,

Area of base = (1/2)(b)(h)

Area of base = (1/2)(3)(4)

Area of base = (1/2))(12)

Area of base = 6 inch²

Volume of triangular pyramid = (1/3)(Area of base)(Height of model)

Volume of triangular pyramid = (1/3)(6)(18)

Volume of triangular pyramid = 36 inch³
