This prism has a right triangle for a base. The volume of the prism is 54 cubic units. 

Find the area of the triangular base (B) and the height of the prism (h).

 
 
  • B = 9 sq. units ;  h = 6 units
    B = 9 sq. units ;  h = 6 units
  • B = 27 sq. units ; h = 9 units
    B = 27 sq. units ; h = 9 units
  • B = 6 sq. units ; h = 9 units
    B = 6 sq. units ; h = 9 units
  • B = 18 sq. units ; h = 6 units
    B = 18 sq. units ; h = 6 units
