\(225\sqrt{3} \ or \ 389.71 \ cm^3\)
=========================
To find the volume of the prism, we need to calculate the area of the base and multiply it by the height of the prism.
Given:
- Height of the prism h = 25 cm
- Perimeter of the base P = 18 cm
The base is an equilateral triangle, so each side of the triangle is:
The area of an equilateral triangle is given by the formula:
where s is the length of a side.
Substituting s = 6 cm:
- \(A=(\sqrt{3} /4)*6^2=9\sqrt{3}\)
The volume of the prism is the area of the base multiplied by the height:
- \(V=Ah=9\sqrt{3}*25=225\sqrt{3} =389.71\ cm^3\)
