Right triangle ABC is the base of the prism in the figure above. If AB=AC=2 and the height of the prism is 3, what is the volume of the prism?
Options:
(A) 1
(B) 3/2
(C) 2
(D) 3
(E) 6 Let's think first. Stream of consciousness:
Volume of prism = Area of base * height = 1/2* (square root of 2) * (square root of 2)*3 = 3
So, the answer is (D).
