Answer :

The height of the base and the perimeter length are respectively; 12 cm and 840 cm

How to find the volume of a Prism?

We are told that;

Volume of Triangular Prism = 1200 m³

Base length = 10 cm

Side length of triangle = 13

Length of box = 20

Now, formula for volume of a  triangular prism is;

V = ¹/₄h√(-a⁴ + 2(ab)² + 2(ac)² - b⁴ + 2(bc)² - c⁴)

where;

a is side length of triangle

b is base side length

c is also side length of other triangle

h is length of box

Thus;

Using Pythagoras theorem, we can find the height of the base as;

D = √(13² - 5²)

D = √144

D = 12 cm

B) Formula for perimeter length of triangular prism is;

P = (S1 + S2 + S3)L + BH

P = (13 + 13 + 10)20 + 10(12)

P = 720 + 120

P = 840 cm
